Celebrity Justice
Balfour Has Anger Management Issues

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ why officials believe William Balfour violated his parole -- he had missed anger management counseling and substance abuse courses that were required as a condition of his release from prison.

Balfour had served time for attempted murder and carjacking. The anger management lapse is ominous, given that he's a "person of interest" in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. As for the substance abuse courses, the Chicago Sun-Times quotes a witness as saying they saw a man resembling Balfour exiting the infamous white SUV "carrying what appeared to be a bottle of liquor."

Several law enforcement sources tell us Balfour could be charged in the murders as early as today, but no timetable is definite.

77. 15. Unfortunately, Illinois' moratorium, the only one in the country, was imposed by former Gov. George Ryan, a Republican, in 2000. Ryan sparked a national furor when he commuted the death sentences of all 167 Illinois inmates on death row before leaving office in 2003, citing a state investigation that uncovered police corruption and racial bias in the state's capital punishment system. The Illinois Legislature has passed several reform measures intended to persuade current Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich to lift the moratorium, but he has said the system is far from fixed.

My God! You're right! I remember when this happened. It's a shame as I would've hoped they'd fry his little ass until he was a charred blotch in the electric chair. I am a pretty liberal Democrat, but I DO believe in the death penalty. "Don't do the crime if you don't want to die for it" is my motto.

Post # 63 -

Where the Hudson's lived has NOTHING to do with their murders.
Murders take place any-and-every where in this World.
Wealthy neighborhoods are not ammune to violence.

... and IF Balfour did commit these murders, he would have had the same access to the home, no matter where they lived.

81. I too am a liberal democrat who never believed in the death penalty UNTIL I had a child. Once he was born I knew that if anything ever happened to him at the hands of another human I would want them dead!

So my position on the death penalty has changed. Hang the SOB who did this!

84. #63 Jennifer offered to buy her family a home, they didn't want to move. I wish this senseless mess could end!! The mess that is the so called "thug life". It's sad to see so many young people dying for no good reason. There should be a way to make these young people see drugs, guns, gangs, it's all senseless. They need to see education and careers REAL jobs making money is a better way to live. Not shooting up people, selling drugs and dying. I don't know the Hudson family, but it hurt me to my heart to hear of this tragedy. A 7 year old boy! Gone! Senselessly! Over what? A car!

87. It is a terrible tragedy.
When will women wake up and start choosing nice guys instead of thugs? So many guys are douchebags/players/thugs because that is what women choose. You swim with sharks and you are going to get bit. There is no justice in the legal systems but hopefully someone in prison will give him the sentence that he deserves when they find out he killed a child.

90. This is so bazaar, I hope this is the person, because he’s caught and in their possession. But if he is not, have they been out there still looking and not let it get cold because they have someone they think is the one? Have they determined the time of death of the boy? This is something that can be figured out asap, JH’s mother and brother were found Friday afternoon dead and Balfour has been in custody since Friday evening. The boy had to be dead for over 2 days in order for it to be Balfour, have they determined that???? Why hasn’t this been mentioned??? I don’t know too many unanswered questions.
