CHICAGO-(AEAE)-WILLIAM BALFOUR WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING JENNIFER HUDSON MOTHER, BROTHER AND NEPHEW. Although there was no witnesses, no direct evidence, no DNA the stacked jury had no problem finding Mr. Balfour guilty of murder. Several members of the jury had family members who were murdered by blacks in Chicago and had no problem finding Mr. Balfour guilty beyond a reasonable doubt dispute the lack of any direct evidence. “Which just goes to show you that you don't need any actual evidence to convict anyone of a crime in a U.S. Court room,” according to legal scholar Professor Harold Goldenshalf. “Mr. Balfour may have been the murderer and may not have been the murderer, but the prosecution presented no conclusive evidence that he was other than the pure speculation of 83 witnesses who obviously did not like Mr. Balfour. There should be a law of evidence in capitol crimes that no one can be found guilty of first degree murder without some direct evidence, finger prints, DNA, eye witness testimony, linking him to the murder and that no sentences can be imposed longer than ten years without such direct conclusive evidence. Every month we all hear of prisoners who have been found guilty of murder that have been cleared by DNA evidence after serving over 25 years in jail.
