Evidently she's not even allowed to receive balloons for her birthday. If Julia corroborated and finds theory credible, she must inevitably feel a tremendous burden for deaths of her family members. Horrific to retaliate on her family and yes, totally "." JMO

Prosecution is seeking death penalty. Absolutely necessary in this case.

Jennifer Hudson says fiance saved her life when family was killed

"I flew out to see him; that's why I'm still here. I've never said that before, and I can't believe I just said that now," she said. "But I didn't know. He was just like, 'I'm going to this wrestling thing, and it's in Tampa. I'm going out there now, so you can come out there and see me versus going home."

CHICAGO (AP) — Accustomed to wearing Vera Wang gowns on red carpets, singing at the Grammys or autographing her weight-loss memoir, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson will take on a new role under a very different spotlight — in Chicago's drab criminal courts building at the trial of the man charged with murdering her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.

The Hollywood star's presence, and the accompanying media hubbub, is bound to affect the proceedings, which begin Monday. That's when presiding Judge Charles Burns plans to start questioning would-be jurors one by one, trying to weed out anyone who could be swayed by Hudson's celebrity status.

does anyone know if there will be a live stream link for jury selection or the trial?
I guess we've gotten spoiled with Fl trials.

Jennifer Hudson family murder trial set to begin

April 23, 2012 - 07:39 am

CHICAGO (AP) - A gift of balloons. That, prosecutors contend, is what sent singer Jennifer Hudson's then brother-in-law into such a jealous rage that he shot dead her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in a horrific act of vindictiveness in the home where the Hollywood star grew up.

Jennifer Hudson Family Murder Trial Begins

"None of us wanted her to marry him," Hudson said of her sister's marriage to defendant William Balfour, her voice cracking with emotion. "We did not like how he treated her... I tried to keep my distance from William."

3 people here, ugh, turning the radio back on. Not sure if it has been announced yet. WGN radio said a few hours ago they were split, the judge told them to go back and he planned to keep them through the weekend.....

I'm nervous.....
