CHICAGO - William Balfour (the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s family members) appeared in court today for a status hearing before judge Charles P. Burns.

The defense informed the court that they had received "two (2) new police reports" from the prosecution and a subpoenaed report form the Illinois State Crime Lab.

The prosecution informed the court that additional fingerprints found at the site of the SVU had been analyzed and that they were NOT the defendants. The prosecution went on to state that they "suspect they’re friends of Jason" (Jason Hudson, Jennifer Hudson’s murdered brother and owner of the SVU where murdered child, Julian King was found in). The prosecution also informed the court that they were waiting on the "police officer’s summaries."

The prosecution stated that they only received notes from the defense from the "medical examiner."

The defense stated that they have one (1) witness' "interview notes" but, that a clerk had left with them.

The judge stated that "we will try this case in February 2012 and that there will be "no more discovery coming."

A continuance was granted "by agreement" to three (3) weeks from today.
