Balfour's Alibi Doesn't Hold Up

Filed under: Jennifer Hudson > Sad Sad

balfourmug.jpg

Jennifer Hudson's brother in law, ex-con William Balfour, remains the #1 suspect in the triple homicide of her mother, brother and 7-year old nephew.

And, according to police sources, it seems Balfour's girlfriend has contradicted his alibi and he's been caught in another undisclosed lie as well.

A neighbor who lives on the same block says he remembers seeing a man he believes was Balfour drive up in a white SUV and park it on the block around Noon on Friday. That's about three hours after the murders.

The neighbor also added that the man got out of the car carrying what looked like a bottle of liquor and then walked into the home where Balfour was later arrested that day.

Reports claim that Balfour and Hudson's sister may have been arguing Friday morning, the day of the tragic killings. A family friend even said that Balfour had made previous threats against the family and Julian.

Balfour is currently still being held for violating his parole on a conviction back in 1999 for attempted murder and vehicular hijacking. He served nearly seven years in prison.

He should have spent more time in jail!

Now, he'll be lucky to get a life sentence, if he's not executed!

    I don't understand how people can be so wicked. All these moms killing their kids, that one dude who killed his family because he was in a financial crisis,the rash of honor killings in New York by weirdo Muslim dads angry that their kids wear t-shirts. I don't get this sick twisted mind set. Armageddon at this point seems like a viable solution. :(



  2. 2

    He deserves a fair trial followed by a first class hangin'.



  3. 3

    this is so sad.



  4. 4

    Execute him!



  5. 5

    how could you shoot a 7 year old several times?????



  6. 6

    So much wrong here. Yuck. Yet another BBD.



  7. 7

    He comes from a family of high achievers.



  8. 8

    I'm sure Jennifer Hudson's sister will forever regret her decision to enter into a relationship with a violent, convicted felon. How could she have brought this man into her precious son's life?



  9. 9

    This monster needs the chair.



  10. 10

    Jesus…

    it's Buckwheat gone bad….



  11. 11

    when he goes to jail he will get ass raped every day.
    most inmates hate anyone who hurts kids.



  12. 12

    heard he was starring in the remake of Our Gang, co-starring zaquisha

    nice hair!

    If he did it, and all seems to point that he did, he should pay dearly. He should thank his lucky stars that he is an American and is in America. Elsewhere they would think nothing of tourturing him as he (if guilty) did this poor child and how without skipping a beat he executed this family in cold blood. Shame on him. At least I know that the system cannot torture him, however….the inmates…..that is another story……..



  14. 14

    That poor family! that's so sad. who would kill a 7 yr old, or anyone for that matter?



  15. 15

    Not for nothing, but why didn't that neighbor who saw the SUV parked on Friday come forward earlier with that information????



  16. 16

    The state of Illinois does not support the death penalty, so there is no chance of him being executed.



  17. 17

    I HOPE HE GETS GANG RAPED IN JAIL. A LOT.



  18. 18

    We unfortunately don't have the death penalty in IL… too bad, this piece of shit is a prime example of why capital punishment should be the law of the land!!!!!!!!! So we at least have the option of ridding our world of disgusting, worthless human beings such as this guy.



  19. 19

    DUH, NO SHIT PEREZ…WE KNOW HE DID IT! NASTY, EVIL BASTARD…HOPE HE LEAVES THIS EARTH SOON FOR WHAT HE DID.

    i hope he fucking dies a horrible death after being tortured!!!! motherfucking asshole!!!



  21. 21

    I'm from Chicago. They don't offer the death penalty in Illinois. They should make an exception in this case.



  22. 22

    Seriously, what is wrong with some people? And you know what is going to happen? If it they indict this guy, during his trial, his defense attorney will say that he was abused as a child which caused him to be this way; as if that is some kind of valid excuse. I don't care if you were buttfucked by Jeffrey Dahmer as a child, it doesn't give you any excuse to murder someone, especially a seven year old. My heart goes out to Jennifer and her whole family.



  23. 23

    he looks crazy!



  24. 24

    Re: grenade – i'm not defending her decision to become involved with someone so potentially dangerous, but one can never foresee someone else doing something like this….there are times this has happened where the killer has had no criminal record, you just never know, which scares the piss out of me



  25. 25

    Re: _Alice_ – I vote for a stoning. Squirrel voted for the torture where he'd be tied up between two horses and then they run in the opposite direction, splitting his fugly mother fucking ass in 2. That would be cool.



  26. 26

    Re: Yermom – don't worry, he'll get the death penalty, inmate style….they don't take to kindly to kiddy killers



  27. 27


  28. 28

    Cut that ugly mofos nuts off feed them to him then cut his eyelids off and poke ur finger at him and watch the blood gush out when he tries to blink…Basically what i'm saying is torture his ugly monkey looking azz and then have a firing range go off on him…Pathetic Scum



  29. 29

    KILL HIM!!! he gives me the creeps



  30. 30

    OK, this is why we stay away from ex-cons with attempted murder on their record, people!



  31. 31

    Fuck this shit. When you take a life, or attempt to take a life, you have used up your privilege to live among society. That is where government fails every single citizen. It is the job of government to protect the public. When they let a murderer back into society, they are failing everyone in that duty.
    —————————————————–
    This man pointed a gun at a child, and pulled the trigger. He could be released back into society in the future. Government is his partner in that crime, for giving him the freedom after he already did this in the past.
    —————————————————–



  32. 32

    waterboard him!!



  33. 33

    Re: mama of 2 – LET'S HOPE!!!!!!!!!



  34. 34

    This is one of thoses times when the death penalty is appropriate



  35. 35

    If that ever happened to my family id kill them myself! Whatever consequences id have would be entirely worth it!!



  36. 36

    Boy - he looks like a real prize.



  37. 37

    This is just stupid. It is pretty OBVIOUS that this monster is the one responsible for the slayings. He was in jail for attempted murder and for stealing a car, two of the things that happened last friday. It's unfortunate that this man was let in to their lives and I hope that jen's sister will make better judgements next time. If someone threatens your family or shows signs of a violent personality, as a parent you should not let a person like that around you or your loved ones.



  38. 38

    fry his dumb ass



  39. 39

    Re: hot bloody cum covered poo – I vote for slicing up his Achilles tendon and then slicing his head off. Off with his head, I say!



  40. 40

    What the hell was Jennifer's sister thinking hooking up with such a loser. She should blame herself for all this misery that she has put on this family!!! What would make a woman want to marry a convicted attempted murderer, he has been in and out of jail so many times…his dad is a convicted murderer and brother is currently in jail for drugs….RED SIGNS!!!! When do you say to your self….I'm better than this and don't want this type of trash in my families lives…well I guess she doesn't have to worry about that anymore!!! Thanks Sis!!!



  41. 41

    I hope he voted early.



  42. 42

    soo.. the neighbor saw him walk into the house? must mean the Suv was parked close to where he was arrested?! why did it take days to find the suv than???



  43. 43

    Don't worry the devil will get him for sure! Count on it! Hey, they are getting the pot hot now in Hades for his arse! i can't wait to see him fry! IF HE DID THIS!



  44. 44

    Wow well if he is guilty then he should get what he deserves. My heart goes out to the mother of the child. Losing a child is the worst thing in the world. Losing a parent and a sibling too, but does not compare to a child's loss. Bless this childs mother and give her the strength



  45. 45

    Re: nikkigurl – That'll be second best to death for this animal, but it will have to do.



  46. 46

    And wow some of you have been watching too many saw and hostel movies, yikes!!!!



  47. 47

    So he can't be put to death in Illinois! No problem. Somebody will get his arse one way or another! Trust! If he is guilty of this he deserves it!

    48

    There's no currently no death penalty in Illinois you idiot.



  49. 49

    What a fucking loser.



  50. 50

    execute the fuckin sonavabitch crazy nutjob fuckin twat bitch



  51. 51

    HE SHOULD GO STRAIGHT TO HELL FUCKED UP SICKO!



  52. 52

    Re: richiephx – LOL



  53. 53

    Re: Yermom – I would not call him a human being Yermom..that thing is a monster..I do not see him as a person.



  54. 54

    I still don't get it. How can you kill a kid?



  55. 55

    Re: NubianPrincess – LOL WHOOA!!



  56. 56

    exactly Perez.the bastard must be executed.he butchered 3 human beings for nothing.and the poor little child,what did he do to him to deserve this death?not even animals kill each other like that.and unless he's executed he will have a "great time "in jail with his cellmates.



  57. 57

    the death penalty is tailor made for monsters like him….too bad they did not live in Texas, because there, they don't play around, they actually DO execute waste-of-oxygen monsters there…and not 20 plus years from now.



  58. 58

    Ok, if someone killed my child, they wouldn't even make it to jail. I'd kill them myself….with my bare hands. What kinda twisted person could do that? At least the adults could put up a fight. I'm not saying it was right to kill them but ya'know. I'd rather an adult go than a child. I hope this guy gets what's coming to him in jail. He will probably be lucky and be considered 'high risk' and be put in isolation.



  59. 59

    but what really pisses me off about this whole thing is

    1. ppl from the neighborhood heard gunshots friday morning but noone bothered to call the PO-PO because gunshots are common there

    2. a freakin CHIHUAHUA was the one barking at the SUV, the truck had been there since FREAKIN FRIDAY and no one NOT A DAMN person bothered to call bout that!! GRRR

    those 2 things really pissed me off…



  60. 60

    So I'm confused. Is he Jennifer Hudson's brother in law or her sister's boyfriend? Or does he have a girlfriend and a wife?



  61. 61

    it's too bad that they don't have the death penalty in il. so now the taxpayers of il are going to get to support this bastard for the rest of his life in prison. unless he doesn't make it long in prison… which we can all hope for!



  62. 62

    Re: RachaelBachael – jennifer hudson's brother in law. this fucker is married to julia, jennifer's sister. but they were "estranged". and yes, he had a girlfriend too.

  63. MP says – reply to this

    This man should never have been let out of jail to begin with. He was serving time for attempted murder, he should've been in jail at least 20 years. This country needs tougher laws to keep creeps like this out of all of our lives. Ladies, don't date men who have been in jail for attempted murder…you deserve better than those kinds of men.



  64. 64

    The State doesn't have to waste it's execution money on this SOB. Just toss him in a room-full of Moms.



  65. 65

    Illinois doesnt have the death penalty anymore.. so the most he'll get is life. many people are against the DP, but when it comes to the punishment for something like a 7 yr olds life… makes you think.. either way, God will have the last word on his fate.



  66. 66

    this guy looks like a winner allright, so sad, my best wishes to the Hudson Family and this looser needs to be fried! but he won't be he made the wise decision to commit his atrocities in the liberal state of Illinois! which sadly does not have the death penalty

    What I don't understand is why did the mom marry someone like this? I mean he didn't go to jail for weed or even carjacking… it was ATTEMPTED MURDER! To have a person like that living in your home with your child is COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE!
