• "There are a lot of ragged ends dangling from the Hudson murders. Yet Chicago Police have arrested William Balfour — who was recently imprisoned on a parole violation — and charged him with the killings of three of Jennifer Hudson's family members. … Authorities have a murder weapon, but forensic tests have not linked the gun to Balfour. This is a case that needs a smoking gun. Police have a girlfriend who allegedly told police Balfour confessed and that she saw him with a gun similar to a .45-caliber Sig Sauer handgun, but the girlfriend has a misdemeanor drug case that could come back to undermine her credibility. Police had two bloody crime scenes — the Hudson home and the SUV — but couldn't find any physical evidence that could be linked directly to Balfour."
