Celebrity Justice
Like Father, Like Son?

William Balfour -- the "person of interest" in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew -- isn't the first Balfour to run afoul of the law.

Balfour's father is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for murder. His brother served time for drug dealing.

Balfour himself has served time for attempted murder and carjacking.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Balfour was a member of the Gangster Disciple Street Gang.

Also according to court docs, Balfour told the judge back in 1999 he had a good relationship with his mother until "she gets an attitude."

92. I think we should lay off of Julia now, i'm pretty sure she has learned her lesson about what happens when you associate with people who are trouble after all that's happened, i just hope she can put her life together again and start again as well as the rest of the family. I don't think there is any good that will come out of insulting her over and over again with the same stuff, it's been said already, she knows what part her decisions played and that's got to hurt bad. Lay off of her now and let them grieve, you wouldn't want her to kill herself would you? I'm sure her siblings would be sad to hear all of what's going on now, those two girls (jen and julia) now only have each other, if Jennifer lost Julia it would destory her, have a bit of compassion for her at least and lay off her sister, they need support right now, i think that life lessons have been learnt already (hopefully) so we need not try to be her teachers and learn from this ourselves and look after our own.
