The suspected murderer of Jennifer Hudson’s three family members has just been denied bail.

It was also revealed that Balfour probably committed the murders because he was jealous that his ex-wife, Jennifer Hudson’s sister, Julia, was dating another man.

A prosecutor told a Chicago court on Wednesday that Balfour had been at the Hudson home the morning of the slayings and saw a birthday present he believed had been given to Julia from a boyfriend Balfour had threatened her about earlier that month at her job.

As he did previously, he threatened the safety of her family, a threat Julia Hudson did not take seriously because he “had not followed through on any of those threats” before, said the prosecutor.

Balfour’s attorney claimed that the charges against Balfour were unjust because there was no fingerprint, blood or any other forensic evidence linking him to the slayings.

However, the prosecutor pointed out that there is evidence linking Balfour to the crimes, including gunshot residue on the steering wheel of his broken-down car.

Additionally, Balfour apparently made statements to authorities that detectives have proven are not true.

For example, even though Balfour claimed he used a transit card to ride a train from the Hudson residence to his home the card was last used two days before the murders.
