Julia Hudson, during a press conference in 2008, pleading for the return of her son
The trial of William Balfour, the accused murderer of Jennifer Hudson Family started this week. The prosecutors started off the trial with a Big Bang, by putting Jennifer as the first witness on the stand. No cameras are allowed in the court room for public view, but reports stated that Jennifer break down several times during her testimony.
Jennifer’s testimony was followed by her Sister Julia Hudson the estranged wife of William Balfour.
Jennifer was quoted during her Testimony
“None of us wanted her to marry him,” (On the marriage of Her Sister Julia and William Balfour)
“I tried to keep my distance from William Balfour.”
Jennifer Hudson and her family never wanted Julia to Marry William because of the way he treated her. Before Julia took the stand prosecutor played a tape, where Julia called 911, after she found the bodies of her family, The Call :
“Oh my God, oh my God,” she is heard yelling at a dispatcher, who tells her to stop screaming because he can’t understand her. “My momma, my momma!”
On the Stand Julia reported how William threated to kill her and her family over 25 times during their marriage and she stayed with him anyway. She quoted
“He said, ‘If you leave me, you will be the last to die. I’ll kill your family first,”’ she said, her voice quivering
Under cross-examination, she acknowledged she was still having sex with Balfour days before the slayings.

Julia also admitted on the stand that William was often Jealous of her son Julian, who was seven at the time, and also murder during the slayings. Julian King was found in an SUV three days later. Who stays with a man that shows jealousy of a seven year old child, that’s the first sign of an mental element.

This brings me to my question, should Julia hold some responsibility in the killing of her family, If William is found guilty?? It’s hard for me to understand how someone could stay with a man, when her family was against it, because they feared for her. Second of all, he threatens to kill her and her family multiple times. Why wouldn’t a person believe threats of this nature, putting her family in harm’s way, and look at the outcome.
On Tuesday, Jennifer walked out of the courtroom, Before prosecutors projected several photographs of her mother, on the livingroom floor soaked in blood. There was also pictures of her brother shot through the head, while his head still rested on his pillow as he layed in bed.

The defense is planning to prove that William Balfour wasn’t responsible for the killing. Reports states that the defense have proof that the the gun used in the murders, didn’t belong to William. They are also trying to pen the murders on Jason Hudson, Jennifer’s Brother who was murder at the time, drug dealing past. They will suggest during the killings Jason, was involved in drug deals, in his crime ridden South Side neighborhood, that went bad, and resulted in the killing.
We will have to stay tune for the outcome, I have Jennifer Hudson and her family in my prayers .

DOES JULIA HAVE ANY BLAME IN THIS TRAGEDY?
Yes she dated him, (a thug) and should have known his capabilities. He was a ticking time bomb or spousal abuser.
She could've warned them to be more safer around him!
Yea yo sister is famous. Get a real man
I believe she only guilty of loving the wrong man & not listening. As her sister I would of been upset because all of this could of been avoided but some women wait to the last min for everything.
No,you may no a person is quote is crazy doesn t mean u know wat and when they're gonna SNAP HELL WE ALL CRAZY 2 SUM DEGREE# TEAMREALSHYT
No I'm sorry but I can't blame her for this at all. This man was crazy and he alone did the killing. Point is nobody really knows what someone is capable of no matter how they look to the world. There may be red flags but there are no 100% guarantees.
Blood sacrifice
Wrong to all that disagree ! See Kissy that's why U have people marrying murders in prison & thinking they can change them. This guy was bad news from the start ! The family asked her not to marry this fool. He warned her he would kill her family if she left him. He's been in trouble with the law since age 14, in & out of juvenile centers. He has a record for car theft and belonged to one of the ruffest gangs in Chicargo, "The Gangster Disciples". He's a thug ! Wake up people ! A lepard don't change his spots.
She knew what she was getting into, but she was lonely! She also knew his past…..
Battered woman syndrome…
Yes Julia should feel some type of responsibility for her families murder…she has not admitted one time how she wished she was not with him or even that she is sorry she was with him when her family didn’t approve of him… and this was no battered woman syndrome, julia liked this type of shit and was not scared of his threats she was a crazy hoe as bytch who was much bigger than him and could have whipped his as… not one time did she call the police or even put a order of protection against him… she should be in jail right beside him cause she should never have gotten involved with him anyway,,,,
Venting: I am actually disgusted that some people are actually blaming Julia for the murders, really, the fact that some people feel like this is deeply disturbing to me. Most likely the people saying this have never endured what she has. Fact of the matter is, if someone has never been in an abusive relationship, they should keep their mouths shut, because they don’t know a damn thing. I mean seriously she has lost enough, I commend her, and Jennifer, it takes a lot to get through something like this, and the last thing she needs is public scrutiny about what she should have or could have done to prevent this. As with everything else in life NO ONE can control anyone else’s actions. And for the record, an abuser does NOT get into the relationship abusing and hitting someone, it is a gradual thing. Again just venting… Enjoy your day folks
