William Balfour, 30, will spend the rest of his life in prison. He was found guilty in the killing of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew.

Balfour was found guilty of  3 counts of first degree murder and one count each of home invasion, residential burglary, possession of stolen vehicle and aggravated kidnapping.

Balfour, 30, was accused of killing the three in a jealous rage, because he believe his estranged wife, Julia Hudson, Jennifer Hudson’s sister, was dating another man.

Prosecutors alleged that Balfour fatally shot Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson, 57, in her living room, and then shot Hudson’s brother Jason Hudson, 29, as he lay in bed. He then kidnapped Hudson’s nephew Julian King, who was 7 and later shot in the head as he lay behind the front seat of an SUV.

The jury took 18 hours of deliberations over three days to reach its verdict.
