Nancy Grace Goes 1-On-1 With Balfour's Mom

The mother of William Balfour -- the "person of interest" in the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew -- was a guest on "Nancy Grace" last night. Like any good mother, she had a perfectly good reason for everything people are saying William did.

17. I like Nancy Grace as well. Nancy has cojones and is not afraid to ask questions that some people won't ask. Balfour's ,other didn't really seem to put up a very good defense for her own son. I agree with the comment that she should probably stop calling in to shows because she sounds like she doesn't know anything at all. I think she is making things worse for her son instead of trying to make him sound like an innocent angel as she seems to think he is.

18. Umm, let me get this straight. You told your son that Julia put drugs in his car which got him arrested in June? Sounds like you put this whole thing in motion lady. Way to go you ASS! I am African American and I can call a spade a spade. This woman is truly ignorant and should not be speaking publicly on anything. Also, how dare she out the dead Hudson brother about being a dealer. What a selfish bitch!!

22. I watched Nancy Grace do that telephone interview last night and had very mixed emotions about it.
It seems to me that William Balfour's mother had every excuse in the book for his criminal behavior but then again I find it ironic that she appears to protect her son far more than Julia King protected little Julian!
P.S..I'm still not 100% convinced that William is even the perpetrator of these horrible murders...though I am 100% convinced that he is a no good low life thug!
As for his mama..she is probably frustrated as well as horrified..still no excuse for her to be excusing his behavior but like I said she has exhibited the emotions that Julia KIng has yet to show the world...hhhmmm!

23. Didnt Mom say he had a wife and about 3 girlfriends, that she knew of?? WOW! Yea he is such a good boy you effin idiot and the Hudson family isnt much better, Mrs.Hudson had to have know that her house was a drug house, real nice for that poor little boy, Maybe Jennifer could have used some of her lip gloss money and got her mom out of that neighborhood especially since she supposedly loved that nephew so much!

24. They were going at it. I saw it yesterday and I have to say, that was actually funny.

25. This woman is a lunatic. I see where her son gets it from. He has been and probably still is a gang member. Did Mommy forget about his stint in prison for ATTEMPTED MURDER. I bet Jack the Ripper's mom went to her grave saying the same thing. Wake up honey. The media may have mistated a few facts but the big picture is that you son has no alibi regardless of whether or not he turned himself in. She backtracked real fast or was it amnesia that her son's gf told the police something entirely different. She paints her son as an angel. And she said she wouldn't lie for her son, what was all that stuttering in the end then crackhead? God Bless Jennifer and her family.

ACTUALLY IT HAS ALREADY BEEN NOTED THAT JENNIFER HAD BEEN TRYING FOR AWHILE TO GET HER MOTHER OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT HER MOTHER REFUSED AS SHE'D RAISED ALL OF HER CHILDREN IN THAT HOME AND DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WAS SELFISH ON HER PART AS IF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS AS BAD AS THEY SAY (I MEAN - NEIGHBORS IGNORING GUNSHOTS BECAUSE THEY'RE THAT COMMON) THEN SHE SHOULD'VE MOVED. HER DAUGHTER IS NOW AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRITY, SHE HAD TO EXPECT THE WOLVES WOULD COME OUT EVENTUALLY. ALSO, WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR SON, GRANDSON IN A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT.

STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THIS WAS AN INSIDE JOB. IN WHICH I MEAN AN ACTUAL FAMILY MEMBER. I HOPE THAT BALFOUR BURNS IN HELL AND HIS MAMMIE IS AN IGNORANT NIGRESS MORON.

27. It is absolutely disgusting that she would bring someone down who was murdered in his home. I understand you want to defend your son, and do a very terrible job at that, but to insult and point blame on someone who was murdered is ridiculous. She needs to learn some lessons on how the system works, shut her ignorant mouth up, and let her "not guilty" son's lawyer do the talking.

28. 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? 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. Who would most likely want revenge out of this?
3)Jason was shot through the front door, yet his body was found in an upstairs bedroom. Who moved him? Definately not William's scrawny behind. Jason was a big guy, it would have taken about 6 Williams to move him.
4)Shell casings were found in Julian King's bedroom, yet police are saying he was killed in the SUV.
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.
6)Why didn't they come at night when most murders occur? The whole family would've been there and they could have killed everyone, yet they waited until Julia was conveniently the only one not home?
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 Julian- 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?"
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?
This is just the beginning- there's more to come including holes in her story about her "fight" with William, her birthday dinner, and her alibi for Friday.
10)She was with Balfour the night of her birthday. How did she pick up her paycheck on Friday if she relied on Jason to get around. Where was she all of Friday, if she didn't work?

29. Yippee! Now Nancy has something else to dedicate her entire show to, for about a year. I swear, every time I go past the channel when she is on, there she is YET AGAIN talking to the same bounty hunter about Caylee's mom. It's not like the guy is a wealth of information, how many times must you constantly re-tread the same information?

How long did good ol Nancy talk about Halloway for? What was it, like a year? Outrage over a poor lil blond white girl from Alabama getting killed, yet thousands of minority teenagers dying in the streets every year. With no mention.

Nancy only cares about causes that will get her ratings. Wish she would just give it a rest already. We get it, you care about Caylee, shut up about it already! There is no new information! She talks like she is this major investigative reporter turning up "breaking news" and it's all re-treads. Meh.

The fact that it's Nancy doing the interview makes me not even want to watch it, LOL.

30. Didn't Obama do coke? Is this the kind of drama we want in the WHITE house?
