In October of 2008, William Balfour, a Chicago-area career criminal (really, there is no other term to describe him; he'd been in prison for attempted murder, carjacking, and possession of a stolen vehicle and was on parole) was estranged from his wife, Julia Hudson and, so, angry at this, he murdered her brother, Jason Hudson, her mother, Donnell Donerson, and her son (and his stepson), Julian King. This triggered worldwide headlines because Julia and Jason's sister was famous actress and singer Jennifer Hudson, who'd starred in Dreamgirls and had won an Academy Award for it. He was tried and convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison.
So, here's a pop culture WI: WI he had also somehow killed Jennifer Hudson? Effects, anyone?
