The man accused of killing members of Jennifer Hudson’s family testified Wednesday that he was angry that the star’s sister was dating another man, which prompted him to kill, a court heard.
William Balfour had previously warned Julia Hudson he would harm her family if she dated the other man, prosecutors claim. And on the day of the killings he allegedly again warned his estranged wife about dating the man, after seeing a birthday gift from him. The details emerged as Balfour appeared in court in Cook County, Illinois.
At the hearing Judge Raymond Myles denied bail to 27-year-old Balfour, who is accused of murdering Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson, her sister Julia Hudson and her nephew, Julian King.
The women were found shot to death in their home in Englewood, Illinois, on October 24.
King, 7, was found shot to death three days later in an SUV in the city.

Asshole. A fan of Jennifer will get to him in prison.

@Taylor Siluwé: I highly doubt it. I don’t think you’ll find a Jennifer fan in the big house. He’s more likely to get killed in jailed for hurting a child.

Okay …
maybe not lip-syncing her music in the mirror type of fan (lol), but someone who respects her and hates what this jealous bastard did to her family, ESPECIALLY the kid. This is the most senseless of crimes, and I feel it in my bones somebody will get him.
