Celebrity Justice
Hudson Murder Suspect Could Walk Monday

Monday morning could be absolutely huge in the Hudson family murder case -- the cops' only suspect, William Balfour, could walk out of jail a free man.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Balfour, who's only being held on a parole violation in a case unrelated to the murders, could "conceivably" skate if there's not enough evidence to prove he did violate his parole. He's scheduled to face the Illinois State Parole Review Board Monday at 9:00 AM.

The only way authorities could keep Balfour in custody is if they officially charge him for the Hudson killings between now and Monday, or if they find that he did violate his parole

Thus far, no other suspect has been named in the triple murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew.

5. AND THE PLOT THICKENS. You know, this whole thing could be something that was drummed up by Jason. Didn't Balfour's mother say he was a drug dealer? Didn't a report say the gun used was his? Perhaps one of his "customers" weren't happy with his layaway plan?! Just sayin...

6. I have a feeling it wasn't him. I think the brother, Jason, had a drug deal gone bad.

8. there aint no way he will walk away.. they will come up with something to keep him there a lil longer till they get the evidence they need to charge him..only a murder will show no remorse like him when finding out what happened to jenns family even his own stepson.. i did'nt hear any story that he was crying or sad or angry.. his prints have to be somewhere on the gun or where he murder that poor family in there home... it'll be a terrible thing if he does come out.... if he did'nt do it then why didn't he want to take a lie dectector test... that tells me he did

10. I just want anyone who is reading this to know that not all people in the U.S. are as malicious, petty, unbalanced and superficial as most of the people who work for TMZ or who post comments on their site. I read some of the nasty blogs and comments about celebrities and it never fails to amaze me the hateful and disgusting comments people make. I just want everyone to know that most of the U.S. is not this angry and unbalanced. It's just a small fraction of people here who are most likely high on drugs when they write this stuff. I don't know how else to explain it because happy and sane people do not think, feel, talk or write the way many of these insane extremists do on this and many other tabloid sites.

These tabloid sites are a breeding ground for extremism because it give these kind of people an outlet to project their own self-hatred, paranoia and lack of self respect toward innocent celebs. Tabloid sites are a meeting place for like-minded mentally unbalanced people who have nothing better to do than tear into celebrities they don't know. It's very sad that anyone out there is like this. Just realize most of us are not so please don't judge us by the angry vocal minority. Most Americans are nothing like them and we are all amazed that anyone is.

13. We are not all the Same, you are a hypacritter on a tabloid website beating your little head against the wall. This whole story is not gonna have a happy ending because the horrific crime will go unsolved, just like every other gang related shooting does in any big city. End of Story

14. I have feeling #11 is not well....

15. I think everyone wants whoever did this to pay for it and I doubt anyone wants Balfour to be tried if it wasn't him. Whats the point in that.
