CHICAGO - William Balfour, the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew back in October 2008 and who was convicted of the crime in May 2012 by a jury of his peers, was sentenced yesterday to life in prison without the possibility of parole by criminal court judge Charles P. Burns, who presided over the trial.

After denying Balfour’s motion for a new trial, Judge Burns sentenced Balfour to three (3) consecutive life sentences, one for each of the murders and an additional 120 years for burglary, kidnaping, home invasion and auto theft. William Balfour is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison.
