In early October William Balfour showed up at Julia Hudson's workplace and accused her of dating another man. He told her he would harm her family if her relationship continued. Julia dismissed William's threats because he had threatened her family before and she considered it to be same shiz, different day.
On October 24th William went to the Hudson home where he saw a birthday present for Julia that he thought was from her alleged boyfriend. William warned her again to stay away. Julia and William left around 8:10 a.m. William then returned to the Hudson home around 9 a.m. where he shot Jennifer and Julia Hudson's mother in the living room and her brother in his bed. Investigators are still unable to assign a time to when Julia's son Julian King was murdered, but they assume it was the same day.
Now this is one evil bastard. Julia's mother, brother and son had nothing to do with Julia moving on and seeing someone else. Finding out the motive behind this tragedy sends shivers down my spine and booty crack (figuratively, about the booty crack). This headcase is so sick, uneducated and twisted that Jennifer Hudson would have been killed too if she was in Chicago at the time of the shootings.
Who else wouldn't be surprised to find out William would hit Julia, too? Obviously I wouldn't be. Why do women put themselves and their loved ones in harm's way by associating themselves with such trash? I will never know, but being single will always be much healthier and stable than getting caught up in a violent relationship.

This is really a sad thing. I have been a victim of domestic violence, that ended in my ex and his friends jumping me at work for leaving him due to the abuse and nothing was done by the authorities. Most women don't try to put themselves in situations like that, nor their families. That's not something you choose to do. My situation was that, he acted like a whole different person like he was leading a double life. That is what abusers do, they show different faces to whomever they choose. After you become involved and they get you trapped, or think that they have, then you see the violence. I found out how he was, just continually found out things about him. He started to beat me up and threaten me, I found out that he sold drugs and had been arrested for sexual assault of a 12 year old girl. Needless to say, I was gone so fast his head was spinning. The thing is, that is when they get worse. He started calling me all of the time at home and work, following me, having his friends to follow me. I started dating someone, and he had me jumped. It's as simple as this, many women don't go to the police because they don't take abuse against women seriously especially women of color. Around here, a woman of color will find it next to impossible to press charges against a guy especially if the guy is white or has personal connections with the police. Which is why he got away with it, just like he got away with abusing that little girl, and he told me that if I ever left him his grandfather had money and connections to the state's attorney and he would not get into any trouble whatsoever. Thankfully, nothing worse like this happened to me, but I have known many women and their families who are in their graves because of domestic violence. I had to get away from my family, miss work, and hide for years because of this man to try to keep other people safe. People just don't care these days, I was jumped outside of a store in a big crowd of people including many men and no one tried to help. They would have stood their and watched them kill me. Victims needs more help, regardless of their color and maybe more women will get away from domestic violence. Also, men are victims increasingly as well. The law does not believe that men are abused by women and they are often killed, with no one held accountable either. The law is not equal or fair in this society, but I don't think there are many people who choose to be beaten by someone they thought that they could trust.
