Jennifer Hudson's former brother-in-law was arrested in connection with the murder of the singer/actress mother, brother and nephew. Jennifer's sister Julia married William Balfour but the marriage ended up in a divorce. William denied the allegations and stated that he has nothing to do with the slaying even though Illinois police linked him to the gun that has been used for the killing. Just this December 01, the Chicago police issued William a warrant of arrest in connection with the triple murder. The accused was in custody in Stateville Correctional Center on a violation of a parole since the killing. Jennifer Hudson on the other hand, has been in hiding since the tragedy and has cancelled a string of promotional duties related to her self-titled debut album, which was released just weeks before the tragedy.
