CHICAGO - William Balfour (the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson family members) appeared in court today before Judge Charles P. Burns for a status hearing. The defense (public defenders) Amy Thompson and Cynthia Brown introduced an additional attorney to their team, Timothy O’Hare. The defense informed the court that they were still in the process of investigating witnesses and they needed additional time to continue doing so. The defense also informed the court that they had discussed the matter with the prosecution. A continuance was granted “by agreement” of both the defense and the prosecution. The judge informed the defense that the case was old and that he will allow at least one more continuance if needed however, after that he will set a trial date.
