Ditquoi...sorry about your Mother's passing!! May her life go on through your memories of her. :(

I feel so bad for her. Losing so many loved ones to a POS like Balfour!! My thoughts are with her. Glad she was so strong and testified against him. That must have taken alot out of her. RIP to all her loved ones!!

When I lost my mom I lost 4 years of my life so I really have no idea how she can at all function after that kind of loss. My brain can't wrap itself around that. So I'll just sit over here and quietly admire her courage. It would be sad if she and her sister don't speak anymore; I bet that's the case.

I have such huge respect for her showing up. Please don't throw Chicago under the bus for this. Domestic atrocities like this happen Everywhere. As much as I may get mad at a loved one or an ex, I'll never understand the "If I can't have you, then no one can," mentality behind this shit. Gee, you win, asshole.
I wish her all the best.

What a sad sad story. I hope that murdering son of a bitch rots in jail...but that really would be too kind. It's to JHud's credit that she's able to hold her head up with dignity after such an unimaginable tragedy.

Wishing her whole family well, especially since it's Mother's Day weekend. I'm sure this is even harder for JHud's sister, losing her mother and her own son. I'm sure she wraps herself up in what ifs and probably blames herself for all this happening. Hopefully now that all this is over they can truly heal and move on.

Blessing and love all around.

ok Televised, that just made me tear up.

God bless JHud and her sister. I commend their grace. I don't know how one recovers from something like this.

Wave bye-bye Balfour: I wish the Hudson family healing and love; they will never be the same but at least they can "rest" knowing he's going away for good. A 7 year old child's senseless murder just iced his cake and threw a load of cherries on it to boot.

People who are against the death penalty aren't mindless "namby-pamby" do-gooders. The general principle behind this belief is that the justice system isn't immune from making mistakes, and those mistakes are most prone to occur in relation to crimes which inflame public passion the most.

There is a logic as well as an ugly history behind the belief that killing people to show that killing people is wrong. While you may not agree with it, the fact that people hold a different belief than you doesn't make them flaky, or stupid, or whatever "namby pamby" means.

Thank you, beware. There is a lot of stupidity in rubbishing an anti-capital punishment stance. It shows a lack of awareness and humanity.

Thank you MK for not posting a photo of that ugly ass balfour!! Wishing the best for jhud.

i remember, it was so sad when they fund that boy dead. people were really hoping the man ha spent his rage and maybe just left the boy at a gas station or something.

that that kind of evil could possess someone, even temporarily,is the eeriest, scariest fucking thing in the world.

i honestly don't know of appropriate punishments, because as much rage as i feel and have felt in my life, it has only been to people who have willfully tortured me over long periods of time. so i can't fathom what would be an appropriate "cure" for the poison, clearly, he wasn't seeing an innocent little kid when he pulled the trigger - he was seeing his own powerlessness to control his woman. that's psychosis. and i would bet money that wasn't the first time he killed.

and what kind of treatment, other than Jesus, has the sister had? dies she know why in hell she would be with a man like that for even a minute? what are the risks of her being with another man like that noww, having another child, starting agin and hoping it will turn out better?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
God don't like ugly.

This is why I love MK and the Dlisted crew. Way to get down to serious business MK when it's called her.

Nothing but prayers and love to JHud.

My friend and I were watching "Street Patrol" today and saw an episode where cops were called to a shots fired called. They found a van where the driver (a mother) was shot and killed by a crazy ex and the protective restraining order against the ex was in the mother's purse. The mother's 18-month old baby was in the backseat of the car when it went down. Fortunately, the ex got caught and has life.

I don't know what it is that makes sickos and psychos like this just snap to such extremes.

We all hope we don't run across sick and broken people who ruin our lives, but it happens. It only makes basic ordinary kindness and decency all the more precious.

______________________________________________

Your last sentence struck me.

Those of us who have had their lives ruined by sick people may never let you know (irl) how broken their lives are, but kindness and decency strike deeply, and can make an agonizing day a little less painful. Even though I've lived through hell, I still remember to be kind, because you never know when someone is having a worse day than you. I know a smile from a stranger or a random kind deed has picked me up from the ground before...

Why would it be any different if they lived in a nicer part of Chicago? This guy was part of their family. He knew their routine. It's not like he was some drifter just out on a mission to do some home invasion or something. I'm sure it's hard for her, especially with Mother's Day this weekend. My mom was killed too, but at least I was young when it happened, and I fortunately only had her for 9 years of my life. It wasn't easy, but I don't mourn quite as much during the holidays for her. I try to think of this as just a 'Hallmark Holiday' and self medicate my way through the weekend... Well, cheers to all y'all who have moms.

I just have to wonder, would this still be the outcome if they had been living in a ritzier gated part of Chicago?

I don't see how this makes the slightest bit of sense. Would having more money have made this guy less jealous?

how sad.

Well then

Hey jint :) I just caught this and I wanted to say I had mentioned in my comments that if it is a particularly heinous crime they usually don't get parole even after the 25. No I wouldn't want them let out at all, I'd want them locked up forever or at least if somehow they were let out they'd be so old they can't pose any sort of threat at all. I was trying to suggest an actual full life 23 hours in lockup might be worst for them than getting off easy with death. Does that make sense? :)

Absolutely TOPANGA. Psychos are everywhere, no matter your socioeconomic status. So sad...
Please make it a wonderful weekend if you can Dlisters!

G-d bless Jennifer Hudson. I have nothing but respect for her.

We may never know why her mother continued to live in that neighborhood. Who's to say this killer wouldn't have carried out these heinous murders no matter where the family lived? I believe he would have found a way to do what he did no matter where or what.

Sometimes sheer determination gets one through a nightmare, and surely these murders and this trial have been traumatic for Ms. Hudson. When something like this is over, and there's a quiet afterward, that's the worrisome time for survivors. I hope she gets through the aftermath with the same grace she's had this far.

Nothing but admiration..

See O. J. Simpson or watch true crime stories on "Dateline", "48 Hours", "20/20", etc.

You are correct and I am obsessed with all of those shows, I should know better. I guess I just wonder if all of these "what if" questions run through her mind everyday. The only one to blame here is that sorry excuse for a man, it was no ones fault but his.

He killed three people, including a seven-year-old, over jealousy regarding a balloon.

There are no words.

It's amazing to me that Jennifer Hudson can put one foot in front of the other and face the day--even three years later--after losing her mother, sister, and little nephew so violently and senselessly. You don't ever recover from shit like this--you just learn not to let it kill you. I hope she finds some peace and happiness in life.

Love the DListed Crew,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Chicago is a violent city. Jennifer Hudson has lived this in the most tragic way. Her celebrity will always captivate me because of the extreme contrast she will continue to embody as long as Hollywood (wherever that is) shines a light her way. How to reconcile this tragedy with her American Idol pedigree? I hope she finds a way to sing it, speak it, act it in some other name than "Jesus", because girl's got a lot of talent and a lot of history.

She's been here in Chicago every day for the trial, which doesn't give her the same tragic photo ops as the LA trials do to celebrities for trivial crimes, this is too big, too tragic, so far beyond what the assholes in LA could even grasp. Way to go Jhud, you show the rest of the world what it means to be celebrity, talented, human and from the s. side of Chicago. Your mother would be proud.

It's Mothers Day.. I wish her well

One thing that stuck out to me when this story first broke was that they were gunned down in her mother's middle class home in an "ok" part of Chicago. At the time, Jennifer was becoming a big star with Dreamgirls and her music and could clearly afford to set her mother up. Apparently, her mother liked where she was just fine and that's why they still lived in the same house. I just have to wonder, would this still be the outcome if they had been living in a ritzier gated part of Chicago?

ITA, "beware". Just look at the West Memphis Three case. Three little boys died and three innocent older boys were thisclose to being wrongfully put to death for it. How many on death row have been exonerated if/when DNA evidence emerges.

I am glad for the guilty verdict.
Sadly, this happens in our country a lot, but not to celebrities, hence the media coverage.

I hope it brings her some closure.

Back to general lurkdom.

Lucifer, true enough but still in some places there is no death penalty. It's not about being do-gooders...

He deserves to die for his crimes, but that doesn't mean he will get anything more than life if it has been abolished. You should know, didn't the UK do away with it?

I feel sorry for JHud and her family. I wasn't on the jury so not much more to add! ;|

No it's not blather. That was very well said and I agree with all your points.

I cannot imagine how strong a person you'd have to be to endure this and live on. Though she must be in pain every day, Jennifer has handled this with tremendous courage.

He deserves death for killing a child. Anyone who can do that to an innocent child is completely soulless and does not deserve ANY kind of life, no matter how miserable that life may be.

I agree.

And it really irritates the shit out of me when mindless namby pamby do-gooders go on about how there is no crime which deserves the death penalty. Anyone who deliberately harms, let alone kills, a child should be tortured and killed. Life in prison is too good for such a monster.

Can I just say how much I goddamn hate and am sick of prison rape quips in our world and internet threads? Talk about sinking to the same fucking level. It really says something about how sick and sadistic we all really are, just give us the cue.

Good writeup MK, I like how you do serious with just the right MK touches.

Sometimes I think convicted heinous criminals of this order should be given a choice - life in prison or euthanasia. And if they choose life, there's still a euthanasia pill in their cell at all times, allowing them to leave at any time. I bet the majority would take it in the first days.

Such a sad horrible case, all good thoughts to J Hud living through such a thing.

We all hope we don't run across sick and broken people who ruin our lives, but it happens. It only makes basic ordinary kindness and decency all the more precious.

To Miss Jennifer Hudson,

No one should have to go through what you went through. There is no excuse for your pain.

Realize that your fans support you and hope you will continue to raise your voice and rock the world.

Here is a thought to go to bed on...your loss is our loss. Their music may be lost but your music will make up for them and pay tribute to them, time after time.

Thanks Jennifer.

On one hand, he killed a child and anyone who does that should fry in my book, but then on the other hand, I kinda want him to be locked up with many who are sick, angry, demented, and will make him their bitch.

this is such a sad story, I'm glad at least living it over again in a courtroom is over for them, and I hope it stays that way.
