Celebrity Justice
Drug Raid at Hudson Murder House in 2002

TMZ has obtained court documents in Chicago that show how the lives of the people in the Hudson murder tragedy have intersected.


We've obtained arrest reports and other docs in connection with a sting operation in Chicago. On March 4, 2002, Chicago cops targeted Jason Hudson, Jennifer's murdered brother, and Gregory King, the father of Julian, the murdered 7-year-old boy. Both men allegedly sold crack cocaine to a registered informant. Cops then raided the very home where Jason was murdered last week. According to documents, Jason, Gregory and Julia (Jennifer's sister) were all arrested.

Julia was never charged with a crime. Jason was charged with cocaine trafficking, but the main count was dismissed in 2004 because the judge ruled police conducted an illegal search. During that hearing, Jennifer's mom had to choose whether to go to Hollywood to watch her daughter on "American Idol" or be in court...she chose the latter.

Gregory was convicted. Jason agreed to enroll in a drug abuse program and the less serious remaining charge was dismissed.

Cops say Jason and Gregory were affiliated with the gang, Gangster Disciples. That's the same gang that William Balfour, the "person of interest" was in. The lawyer who repped Jason told TMZ cops often jumped to conclusions and assumed people in that neighborhood were gang members.

61. I agree 100% with fight4julianking. These are the same things I have been thinking since this story came out.

I always find it odd when an entire family is slain minus two persons: Julia who just happened to not be home and the Jennifer because she lives in another state. No way did Jennifer have anything to do with this, but where was Julia?

Remember when this story first broke and reports stated Julia couldn't be found? Maybe she was the other driver ditching the car.

62. # 57 FIGHT4JULIANKING..You are a complete Douch Bag.................Why would you waste so much of the precious time you have on this Earth to write a crime novel about these sub-human misfits that could give a rats a$$ about you. As a matter of fact if they saw you on the street and knew they could get away with robbing you, beating you and even killing you,they'd do it! ...Don't be stupid, stop writing, no one cares................

63. fight4julianking............I agree with you. I have been following this since it was first reported. As a mother of three, when I first saw Julia press conference, she just did not seem right. The Father was way to quiet, and if it were my children I would be more emotional then she was. I think her Mother cared for Julian and she was just a bystander. She did work, but we all work.On her my space page , look at the pics and read the questionnaires. I just feel that she was envious of Jennifer. and a little jealous.
She does not come off off as a person that has true concern for her family. I hate to think this way of anyone that has gone through a tragedy like this, but sometimes when you are on the outside looking in , you see more.
Now, about this drug raid in 2002, why wasn't children services called about the baby?

64. Like I've been saying all along, the whole group was ghetto trash. The poor 7 year old kid was already showing gangster influences. Sad, how sad. And why didn't Jennifer's mother move out of this mess? Had ties to the community. Well, I guess!

65. I hope Jennifer continues to lift herself out of this mess. She seems to care deeply for her family and stick by them and I hope she can continue to do this without being dragged down by them. She is such a talented, hard working young woman. I also hope her fiance isn't a loser - his being on that "reality" show and trying to get that nasty skank's attention makes him questionable at best. Best wishes and my sympathies to Jennifer.

66. Oh please Julia is definately guilty. I felt sorry for her in the very beginning but then quickly changed my mind once I saw farting around on myspace every single night. What mother in their right mind would be sitting on myspace with all this happening..changing statuses and writing blogs. Give me a freaking break. GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. Jennifer should have taken the little boy to stay with her. Poor kid.

67. julia to busy changing her myspace page, new pic and julia what happen to mobster and the guns oh yeah and MRS FLEX that is william name on his my page. she deleted all that. she had a picture of her self in a white tank top with her fff boobs hanging down. the whole time since this happen you did not ask for help on your page for people to for your son. jennifer had to do it. i dont think julia hands are clean at all. i hope the cops tooks some test for gun power on her. if my mom and brother were murder and my child was missing ,myspace would be the last thing on my mind. i saw what you post in my space but that is bs about going line to see if someone would say something. you should have been out looking for your baby. low self esteem, no respect or decency for yourself, senseless crime beacuse you are selfish. jennifer you better cut ties with her because hollywood is watching this all play out and i hope this does not affect your new career, i know you dont want to go back to that life style. plz jen surround yourself with postive people jen im sorry for your lost tc care of yourself, handle your business and get lost from the drama love them from afar im sorry to say that.

68. I EFFIN KNEW IT ALL ALONG - NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. I WONDER WHAT JENNIFER WOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW IF SHE HAD NOT BEEN ON AMERICAN IDOL? THAT ENTIRE FAMILY IS DISFUNCTIONAL. IT WAS JUST LUCKY FOR JENNIFER THAT SHE GOT WHERE SHE IS ALTHOUGH SHE IS TALENTED. BUT SHE IS NOT THE ONLY TALENTED PERSON OUT THERE, AMERICAN IDOL PUT HER WHERE SHE IS. GEEZ JUST LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SO FAR WITH THEM. ALL THIS CRAP IS FINALLY COMING BACK TO HAUNT HER.

69. Julia has amazing taste in men. WOW. Not only did I find it odd of how Julia has been acting with all this but I also found it strange how silent and blank the father of the child was. I mean Jesus H. Christ, YOUR SON WAS MISSING. He just stood there looking so aloof at that press conference. Even gangsters show some kind of emotion when it comes to their kid....What kind of parents are these people? That poor child should have been taken by social services. He might have had a chance at a long healthy life. So sad.

70. 68.- What changed on her page? The gangsta stuff is all still there, and the questionnaire still has everything on it, right down to:

Want to have kids?: WHETER I WANTED TO OR NOT HIS A$$ IS HERE

Classy.

"There are thousands of people who have people in their family doing drugs, selling drugs, and so on in both neighborhoods white and black all colors and all financial backgrounds look at lyndsey lohan look at britney hello putting her children in danger while high, what makes her any different yet she has a number one song out she was welcomed back into the public, lyndsey is still making movies, come on now people it happens everywhere but no one deserves to have their life taken away or deserves to lose a child or parent! "

well, farrah, thank goodness the courts and reasonable people don't agree with you. if you put your children in danger by exposing them to drug dealers, gangs, or are doing drugs while they are in your care, even if you are the mother, the children can, and should, be taken away. don't you remember that britney lost custody of her children? the only reason she has joint custody again is they are keeping an eye on her. if she slips up....kids gone. ya know why? because just cause you birthed someone doesn't give you the right to endanger their lives. it's amazing that you don't understand this. maybe you're 12, in which case i guess i can understand your ignorance but for heaven's sake EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!

Posted at 9:16PM on Oct 29th 2008 by when will people wake up?
