J Hud's Fame Complicates Murder Trial


Jennifer Hudson's fame is complicating jury selection for the trial of William Balfour, the man accused of murdering Jennifer's mother, brother and 7 year old nephew in 2008...

Potential jurors were surprised to hear Jennifer Hudson's name read on the witness list and more than 20 people walked out when Judge Charles Burns asked if anyone would be unable to decide the case without “sympathy, bias or prejudice.”

Opening statements are set to begin April 23, 2012
