121. My prayers definitely goes out to the family. But especially to Julian's mother. To loose your mother and brother and then your child is horriffic!!! I pray for her strength.

122. I am so sad over the lose of this young man. He is truley with Christ Jesus because he loves these little children. This guy or persons who took this young man away before his time will pay very very dearly. Selfish and sick acts like this never ever go unpunished! They should hang him or whoever done this by their balls . I cant believe this act of showing no mercy to a child ! I feel for all of these people who lost thier lifves to this FREAKY POSSESED MAN OR WHOEVER ELSE. The DEVIL is out and this is the horror SATAN brings to people. who invite him in. This little boy is in Heaven forever. Iam sorry for such a unmerciful act.

123. To #28. She was with the whole family. The media used her name because more people would read it. She is the strongest of all of them, having been out in the media world, so they all will lean on her. Sad that ANYONE had to identify 3 members of one family. And to those who think the child's mother should have chosen a better man in her life, we all make mistakes. We all hope they won't turn into tragedy, as this did. The mom, now dead, threw him out a long time ago. He was trouble, but it hasn't been stated yet that he did this. Whoever did, is evil! But let's not judge the family on what they should or should not have done, or what they should or should not do now. There, but for the Grace of God, go all of us. Peace.

124. I've always heard the saying that God would never give you more than you can bare. But it's times like this when I honestly wonder if that's true, or did someone just make that up as a way to lessen the hurt we feel? Hell is to good for the evil that did this. And death is too much of a comfort for them! My family and I are keeping the Hudson family in our prayers.

127. Yes, Mike L. My comment is that you are one sick S.O.B. to bring politics into a personal tragedy like this.

130. Why haven't we heard about Jennifer's sister? Where is she while all of this is happening? I'm sorry, but if you choose to live in that area of Chicago, be ready to deal with violence and death. If Jennifer could afford to pay $100,000 reward, why the heck are her family members still living in that place? This is a very sad story, but not much nowadays surprises me, especially around huge cities like Chicago......

132. It sounds like most are going with the premise that William Balfour did this and now they are trying to build a case against him.
This is dangerous because it will cause the case to be closed & what if he really didn't do it?
What if it is a set up of somesort? This case needs to be investigated fully & I mean fully.
Other people in peripheal relationships need to be looked at as well.
Since most in that neighborhood know of the conflict Julia was having with William, it would have been easy to set him up.
We must not stop at the first person who seems suspect. This is crucial to stopping the violence, find the real culprits.
Or else the violence will just continue in a never ending cycle.

133. PEOPLE PLEASE KNOW THAT JENNIFER IS NOT ALONE WHEN SHE IS CONFIRMING THE REMAINS OF HER RELATIVES. SHE TOO HAS A GREAT SUPPORT SYTEM OUTSIDE OF HER SISTER. IF SUCH A THING HAPPENED TO MY SISTER, I WOULD CONFIRM THE REMAINS OF MY NEPHEW. PEOPLE PLEASE HAVE A HEART AND KNOW THAT JENNIFER IS TRYING TO BE STRONG FOR HER SISTER. WHILE THEY BOTH LOST A MOTHER AND A BROTHER, JULIA HAS LOST SOMETHING THAT JENNIFER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT...THE LOST OF A CHILD CAN BE SOMETHING OUT OF THIS WORLD. I COMMEND JENNIFER AND JULIA FOR BEING AS STRONG AS THEY ARE. I TRULY WISH THEM NOTHING BUT PEACE AND LOVE.

134. Repost- with a few new facts:
Every time I read about this woman I get angry. Something's not right with her and I hope the police catch on. For those
of you who have blinders on and want to treat Julia like the innocent victim- fine with me.

However, as far as I'm concerned there werethree victims and they're no longer here to tell their stories.
The most defenseless victim, Julian, a poor little 7 year old boy who suffered the most unimagineable fate, witnessed the brutal killings of his grandmother and uncle before being shot twice in the head.

We must fight for this child and if this means by exposing his mother-then so be it. I come from a realistic world where
unfortunately, mothers sometimes murder their children or contribute to their demise.

This is my opinion and if you're one of those people who live in untainted worlds, I ask you to move to the next post because this will probably upset you.

Theory 1: Julia Hudson's Involvement
There are too many holes in this story:

1)The body of Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson was found by Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia around 2:45 PM Friday. Julia called 911 to report the shooting. She also reported her 7-year-old son missing. Police arriving on the scene found Hudson’s brother Jason shot to death in a bedroom.- I got this from CNN.

My question is how could she report her son missing if she never walked through the house. She claimed to have walked in the door, and after seeing her mother's body in the living room, left out the house and called 911.

She then went to the police station to report Julian missing. How did she know he was missing and not hiding in the house or somewhere murdered in the home? Apparently, the police discovered her brothers body- she did not. As I said, she only made it to the front door.

2)What would motivate William to kill her family?
Julia did not work the Friday of the killings. She only went to work to pick up her paycheck at which time she noticed her paychecks were being garnished for the car payments William agreed to pay. She apparently called William to complain. Where did she go after picking up her paycheck? Did she not return home and just spent the entire day "out"? How did she pick up her paycheck if she relied on Jason for transportation? Did Jason allow her to borrow the white Suburban to pick up her check? Some neighbors even reportedly place both William and Julia at the house together in the early morning. They claim to have heard them arguing. Anyway, William appeared to have gotten everything he wanted out of the deal. He sold the car (and I'm assuming kept the money), was living with a girlfriend and didn't have any car payments (apparently, Julia found out the payments were automatically being deducted from her check). For those of you are saying that Julia was a victim of domestic abuse- that's false. The news media reported that they had domestic issues, which equates to arguments. Even if William threatened Julia before, I doubt he would have killed her family just because SHE was upset over a garnished check. Also, Julia mentioned she never took Williams threats seriously because she KNEW how much he didn't want to go back to jail. So, in this situation, who would benefit most from the killing of her family?

3)Police have stated that Jason Hudson was shot when the gunman shot through the wooden front door. He also received defensive wounds. I've seen pictures of the door and the bullet pierced the door towards the middle, and yes it was closed. If you've seen a picture of him- he was no small guy. William, a man of small stature, could not have taken
him upstairs alone. If Jason was shot in the thigh, he would have needed a very large person to help him upstairs. I always wondered in that type of area, shouldn't they have a gun in the home?

4)Shell casings were found in Julian King's bedroom, yet police are saying he was killed in the SUV. Was Julian in fact already dead before he was removed from the home? Rumors are circulating that his hand was cut off.

5) The small bullet only went through the wooden door, so the door should have still been locked. How did the killer get in? If he shot at the door first, who in their right mind would have opened it for him?

Assuming they shot Jason when he came to the unopened door, who in their right mind would have opened it? Was the door already unlocked? Police said there was no sign of forced entry, but I can't imagine an unlocked door in that area- unless it was done intentionally.
*someone responded to this by saying that William may have had a key since he once lived there. You're right, but I would hope that upon kicking someone out they would have confiscated the key, maybe even change the locks.

6)Why didn't they come at night when most murders occur? The whole family would've been there, then they could've killed everyone.

7)Yes, people mourn differently. I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine with your mother and brother being tragically killed, and your son missing, the last thing I'd be thinking about is the damn computer. And if it was her on the computer, and William was a suspect, why did she keep him as her #2 friend? His *ss would've been gone with the quickness. Why did she feel the need to explain her actions on Myspace?

Why is she still Ms. Flex? If she had enough time to write a blog, she definitely had enough time to press the delete button. Why has she been seeking support from her fans on Myspace when I'm sure she's surrounded by family and friends who love her? I'm sure her closest friends/family are probably with her. Then to lie and say she was on Myspace to try to solicit help for Julain- b**ch please!! You never asked for help on your Myspace page. Jennifer, yes- you no. Come up with another excuse. I hope she's enjoying her newly found celebrity status? To live in the shadows of a famous little sister. Well, all eyes are on you now Julia. A word of advice- ask Jen for some acting lessons-your performance to date is not Oscar worthy and rather suspicious.

8)Her appearance at the press conference was a little too calm and collected for me. Her hair was fly, she looked pretty well-rested,and she said Julian was more "like a little brother?" I also keep thinking about the expressionless look on Greg King's face.


9)On Friday night when Julian was missing, why was she on Myspace instead of in someone's car driving around the city looking for her baby and the white Suburban truck? I don't give a damn what anyone on this board says about how people grieve, if her fat ass had to walk the city of Chicago, then that's what she should have been doing in order to bring him home. The first 48 hours are the most crucial with missing children, and you're chilling on the computer? WTF?

10) She claims after he birthday dinner- which by the way was attended by William, she took Julian home and handed him over to her mother who was waiting for him at the front door. Julian was asleep and Julia said she went to bed downstairs. Why would her mother be waiting at the door for Julian if they all lived together? Why couldn't Julia carry him upstairs? Had she been kicked out or moved out? Why didn't her mother join her for her birthday dinner? Were there some problems at home?

11)Why didn't Julia go with Jennifer to identify the bodies? Guilt maybe?

12)I'm not saying Julia pulled the trigger but I really do believe in my heart that she was forewarned. This, in my eyes, makes her worse than the triggerman.
