Well, the prosecutors in the trial against William Balfour, the brother-in-law of Jennifer Hudson and the estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister Julia, have presented their understanding of the motive in the murder case. They believe that William Balfour was angry that his estranged wife was dating another man. Therefore, he committed the murder of 3 generations of family members who were closest to his wife in their opinion.
Who would have thought that anger could have been the motive? Geez…it is obvious that someone with a grudge killed them. I guess that the authorities have evidence that William showed up the day of the murders and confronted his wife. Supposedly they left the family home at the same time…but, William is alleged to have come back and killed Julia’s mother, brother and her 7-year old son.
It doesn’t sound as if William Balfour confessed to the murders, so it will be a trial that will continue to make headlines. It will be very painful for the Hudson women to have to relive this nightmare in public. Julia and William married in 2006 and allegedly had a rocky relationship. They were seperated at the time of the murders. Jealousy and rage are volatile and unpredictable. Thousands of families deal with such behaviors every day; however, they don’t have to have the eye of the public on them while they deal with such tragedies.
