Vehicle With Body -- Timeline Critical

16. Julia should not have protected this man like she did but oh well I guess what ifs could be said over and over with so many things in this story. But one thing that got me is her protecting him with his parole. When he sold that car she knew he was on parole and didn't talk to the police because he would be violating or did violate his parole with something else and didn't want him back in jail. She could have prevented this whole thing at least for awhile.

17. The timeline is very critical because police investigators have to be able to link Mr. Balfour to all three homicides. Therefore, police investigators should ask witnesses, what time on Saturday did they notice the vehicle in question? This is important because Mr. Balfour could have parked the vehicle at that location on Friday night but neighbors not notice it until Saturday morning or afternoon. They should also get a subpoena so that they can sequester his clothing as forensic evidence (e.g. gun residue).

18. No what if's. Your actions have consequences and when you invite trouble into your home trouble is what you will find. To say no one could have predicted this tragedy is ridiculous. It's terrible that this child paid the ultimate price for having such irresponsible guardians.

I hope that the child did not suffer.

19. A neighbor who lives a block away from where the SUV was discovered says he remembers seeing the car Saturday. During the police press conference, the man came forward and claimed he called cops that same day but no one responded.
--------------------

OK, here is what I wonder about

why did no one call the caops when they saw the car Saturday??

do people in Chicago hate the cops so much that they won't call them when a child is missing?

I honestly don't get this?

I live in a town where we call the cops and they come and fix things, no one dies, we just settle things

20. GIVE THE POS THE DEATH PENALTY. EITHER GIVE HIS SORRY BLACK ASS TO THE HUDSONS OR LET INMATES HAVE HIM.
THIS BOY DID NOT DESERVE THIS. THE MOTHER SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FOR HAVING A PAROLE-E AROUND HER YOUNG SON.

21. WHY THE HELL SHOULD AMERCIANS PAY FOR CRIMINALS ANYMORE IN JAIL AFTER THEY KILL AND TEAR FAMILIES APART??? WE NEED TO DO AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE TO DEAL WITH REPEAT OFFENDERS. THIS IS BEYOND WORDS.

22. First my heart goes out for Jennifer and her family. My prayers are with you. There are people in Chicago who call the police and people who just don't give a care cause it's not there family. This is a tragedy. Of course everyone can blame Jennifer's sister because of the choices that she made but no one is perfect and we all make bad choices. Everyone is referring to this child as Jennifer's Hudson's nephew but I want to send my sympathy to Julia Hudson. There is no feeling like loosing a child. As the parent of three teenage boys in Chicago I couldn't imagine it. Stop blaming her and reach out for her because this is the time she needs it. There is so much crime happening in Chicago that there probably wasn't enough police to get to the vehicle in time if there was a call placed before. Remember, the police have families to. If the people who stay near the home hard shots at 8 am why wasn't the dam police called then? That could have been more time to find this innocent child. Why was the bodies found at 3 pm if the shots were heard at 8 am. Come on CHICAGO get together and give the police and the FBI the real information they need. Innocent lives have been taken and there has to be a motive behind this entire ordeal. If William Balfour was driving one vehicle over his girlfriend house then how the hell can he be driving the SUV also. Either he had an accomplice or it wasn't him!!!!!

To just kill them off makes no sense to me, they are out, they hace their freedom....

Make them suffer, make them wake up each day thinking about how tomorrow is just the same, how life was on the outside, make them suffer by living, dying is easy

Plus, it costs more for the appeals on life sentences than it does to house a maniac for life

24. Adrienne, didn't this guy already do time for attempted murder? Maybe he doesn’t have a conscience.

You are right he doesn't have one, he should have never been let out

Murder is a crime people should spend life behind bars for, the shouldn't get out, neither should pedophiles

Violent crime should not be tolerated, nor rewarded with parole

26. I feel for the Hudson family my prayers are with them this is so sad that this has happento them, but justice will prevail and the man who did this will pay for his crimes.

27. I think the majority of people in Chicago care very much especially about children. I know i grew up in Chicago. I see the hurt in most of the people face in the neighborhood from the tv you can see they are hurt. I don't think he has the shooter if having any part. They surely checked him for gun powder hands, cloths. etc. He seems to be a special person not really mentally able to pull off something like this at least not by himself. We are really in the last days and the new system will be nothing will this evil we deal with now.

28. I agree with #14 Ladies please be careful what kind of man you invite into your home and into your life. You never know what these men are capable of. I strongly agree with Jennifer's family not wanting to leave a neiborhood she and her family was so familar with. However, danger was brought into her home. My deepest sympathy goes out toJennifer Hudson and her family.

29. I hope the authorities use extreme caution with the evidence! It sounds to me like Williams may have had someone possibly do this for him, so he had an air-tight alibi. Someone on the last post, mentioned that Julian did not have school on Friday, and of course his mother was at work. Something that has been bothering me from the beginning is this, the cornor said that one of the victims had marks...as in defence. I think it was the Grandmother fighting off someone entering the house with a weapon to take the boy...and I think that the brother Jason, was taken off guard or didn't see it coming.

30. I don't get why people think its dishonorable to leave their hood. The hood is only glorified in rap videos. If you live/have lived in the hood, its a place everybody is dying to get the hell out of! So when you get an opportunity LEAVE! If not for yourself, then for your children. I am not judging Jennifer Hudson's mother, but as a part myself, I would never live in a place with a level of violence that high. These murders had nothing to do w/ the crime rate, but maybe if they had moved away from this psychopath maybe he wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to them to commit this heinous crime.

On another note..my mom and dad broke up when I was 2 years old. I am now 36. My mom had one or two boyfriends while growing up. She NEVER let them babysit us or spend the nite in our home. For the simple reason that you NEVER KNOW. I am married and if my husband and I ever break up God forbid, I will not remarry and have anyone else be a father t
