Jennifer Hudson family killer gets three life sentences

William Balfour – the former partner of Jennifer’s sister Julia – killed her mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew.

The 31-year-old also went down for four other counts related to the 2008 killings earlier this year and he has received the life sentences along with 120 years for the other charges.

Chicago, Illinois where the legal battle took place does not carry the death penalty.

Jennifer was in the courtroom for the ruling. William had earlier tried to appeal but was denied the privilege by a judge.
