A Chicago jury has convicted Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law William Balfour of murdering her mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew. Prosecutors described it as an act of vengeance by a jilted husband.
Hudson, who endured weeks of excruciating evidence about the October 2008 killings, was overcome with emotion as the verdict was read last night.
Balfour, 31, who faces a mandatory life prison sentence, showed no emotion.
