Suspect Confession in Hudson Case?

William Balfour -- the only suspect in the Hudson triple murder case -- allegedly told his current girlfriend he was involved in the murders of Hudson's mother and brother, according to sources at the Chicago Tribune.

Balfour's girlfriend in turn told police what he told her. The Tribune also cites sources saying Balfour "acknowledged being at Hudson's Englewood home" on the morning Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were shot to death inside, and Jen's nephew was abducted and later killed.

These are incredible statements considering William -- who has not been charged with a crime -- could be released tomorrow morning pending a decision by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board on whether he violated the terms of his parole.

Chicago police refused to comment.

91. Has anyone stopped to think, that if, this lady is telling the truth and he is being released, she could be next to die?

92. For "eyes wide open" - I'm thinking that the police may have some credibility concerns about this so-called "confession" also. In addition to the obvious facts you mentioned, remember also that William Balfour's mother's phone interview with Nancy Grace on CNN was on national TV. Ms. Balfour not only stated that William and Julia were "separated but still together" and "in love," but she also mentioned that William had TWO other girlfriends besides Julia. I'd guess this was pretty unwelcome news to this young woman...might make her angry enough to want to send his butt back to jail so she can save face a bit among friends and family by portraying herself as the innocent victim of a truly evil person.
