Jennifer Hudson has been going through some pretty tough times recently.
As we previously mentioned, she was just in court, hearing that her ex-brother-in-law was found guilty on all charges in the murder of her mother, brother and nephew.
It's all a terrible tragedy but at least it's over now and justice has been served.
To take her mind off of things, her fiancé, David Otunga, being the great guy he is, took her to Six Flags.
They spent a lot of their time riding the thrill rides and being escorted around by the friendly park staff.
A Six Flags spokesperson said:

Justice has been served.
This afternoon, a jury rightfully found Jennifer Hudson's former brother-in-law William Balfour guilty of murdering her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

Our thoughts are with her today. We hope she can find some peace after the verdict comes in.

We can't wait for this traumatic trial to be over for the Hudsons.
The court heard the last bit of testimony today from two police officers at the scene of the tragic murders and closing arguments are set for tomorrow.
Since the defendent and accused murderer, William Balfour, is "determined he does not want to testify," this thing is almost wrapped up.
Hopefully by the end of it, Jennifer Hudson and her sister Julia will get some justice for the horrific crimes done to their family.
The singer has been in court EVERY DAY since the trial began three weeks ago. Considering all of the grief she must have gone through, we hope her participation pays off!
