Suspect's Mom: He Didn't Do It

William Balfour's mom, Michele Davis-Balfour, refuses to believe he had a part in yesterday's double murder, saying, "Out of no means did my son do this. This heinous crime to this family is unbelievable. It's unbearable."

Cops don't seem to have her same sentiment, as William is the prime suspect for the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother, and is currently being held by Chicago police.

Michele went on to voice her concern for Hudson's missing nephew Julian King to CNN affilitate WLS: "Whoever has Jennifer Hudson's nephew or Julia Balfour's son, please, I'm begging you, me and my family are begging you to return that son."

1. TELL YOU MURDERING ASS SON TO TELL THE POLICE WHERE THAT CHILD IS.

I HOPE THEY KILL HIS PUNK ASS IN PRISON

4. Of COURSE he's innocent!

That 7 yr stretch in state prison for carjacking/attempted murder and grandtheft auto was just a big misunderstanding. Don't worry Moms, You did a GREAT job raising this fine citizen!!

6. Love the quote from the mother: "I didn't raise no murderer," Michele Balfour said. "He was not a child abductor. They have the wrong person."
Yeah, you did raise a murderer. That's why he was in prison for attempted murder, carjacking and grand theft auto. You as a mother contributed to this man being a murderer. You are still defending this monster. Look what people like you do to this world. It is just disgusting. This man should be executed.

8. These mamas get on my nerves. They will know damm well that their son has a rap sheet a mile long, but he is never guilty. Also, why on earth wouold someone marry such an obvious thug?

9. No doubt about it. That boy is dead. This story will not have a happy ending. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

Posted at 2:45PM on Oct 25th 2008 by Yeah, I said it

10. This is a very sad situtation, for ALL involved. My thoughts and prayers go out to not only the Hudson family, but to the Balfour family. We do our best to raise our children to KNOW right from wrong. But GOD gives us our own minds, to make our own decisions. Williams mother did her best to raise him. His choices are NOT to be blamed on her. We all want to see the good in our children. We do not want to believe that our child could do such a horrible thing. Again, my prayers go out to both families!

11. Holycrap, you are the one in denial. You'll probably be completly hung over on November 5.

12. Hey momma Balfour: OF COURSE YOUR SON IS INNOCENT...

Just like your almighty Obama, he has done no wrong,

So, don't worry, he'll be okay. Once the faux-mesiah wins, he will be out with to mend with the rest of the criminals he will be supporting to avenge his hatred towards America

13. Politics &/or race has NOTHING to do with this horrible murder! It doesn't matter how a person dresses or how they are raised! There are murders from ALL races and backgrounds! We all make our own decisions! Righ or wrong, we are responsible for our own actions. NOT our parents!!

14. I think its really pathetic that people are trying to bring up BarackObama because he is black.

Heres another fact for everybody who doesnt like black people...he is your next president. Nobody is going to change how they vote in the next week. The 200+ years of wasp presidents is finished. "Your" country is now ALL of ours. I'm not African-American but I can not tolerate such ignorance. Barack Obama will be fantastic president and I look forward to hearing his inauguration speech it should be great.

Now back to the original subject. I hope they inject this Balfour character with bleach. They should have his mom watch too.


OBAMA '08.....the days of the WASP are lonnnnnnnnnnng gone

15. Whoever has Jennifer Hudson's nephew or Julia Balfour's son"

Um, idiot, they are one and the same person, not 2 people you stupid ignorant fool. And the best like is "I didn't raise no murderer". You're right he was in prison for ATTEMPTED murder. He's apparently a bad shot that is why it was only attempted. Maybe he learned how to get it right this time.

It's a sad story only worsened by the fact this woman is allowed to speak to the press.
