CHICAGO - William Balfour (the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s family members) appeared in court today before Judge Charles Burns for a status hearing. The defense (public defenders) informed the court that they were working on getting discovery reports from experts, there was a new witness ("internet expert") with internet information and that they needed to investigate another new witness. The defense asked the court for a continuance so that they could gather expert reports and investigate a new witness. The judge reiterated that the case was two and a half (2 1/2) years old and he wanted to set a trial date by late summer. The judge informed the defense that he was going to meet with their expert because he "want to know what’s going on."

A continuance was granted "by agreement" of both parties to two (2) weeks from today.

After the status hearing, the defendant’s mother, Michele Balfour was spotted in the hallway crying hysterically stating "I’m tired of this."
