Veredicto. Un jurado encontró ayer culpable al excuñado de la cantante Jennifer Hudson de asesinar a la madre de la artista, a su hermano y su sobrino en 2008.
William Balfour, de 31 años, fue hallado culpable de tres cargos de asesinato en primer grado, por los que se enfrenta a cadena perpetua, según el canal de televisión ABC, aunque su defensa, que ha mantenido su inocencia, ha indicado que apelará.
Balfour estaba acusado de matar a la madre de Hudson, Darnell Donerson, de 57 años; su hermano Jason Hudson, de 29, y su sobrino Julian King, de 7.
La cantante, que testificó el primer día del juicio que comenzó el 23 de abril, entró ayer en la corte junto con su prometido, David Otunga, y su hermana Julia poco antes de que se leyera el veredicto, que escucharon silenciosamente entre lágrimas.
Durante las dos semanas del proceso la fiscalía llamó a más de 80 testigos, mientras que la defensa solo contó con dos y Balfour ni siquiera testificó.
El 24 de octubre de 2008, la policía encontró los cuerpos de la madre y el hermano de Hudson asesinados a tiros en la casa de la familia en Chicago. EFE.
