Hudson in-law convicted of murder

A jury in Chicago has convicted Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law of murdering her mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew in what prosecutors’ described as an act of vengeance by a jilted husband.
Hudson, who expressed her undisguised disdain for William Balfour and endured weeks of excruciating evidence about the October 2008 killings, was visibly overcome with emotion as the verdict was read last night.
