An unfortunate thread to have but we all know the reality of the successes of parolees.

The estranged brother-in-law of singer and actress Jennifer Hudson was charged Tuesday with three counts of first-degree murder stemming from the fatal shootings of Hudson's mother, brother and nephew, police said.

1 of 2 William Balfour, 27, was also charged with one count of home invasion, authorities said at a news conference.

Balfour is the estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister, Julia Hudson, and the stepfather of one of the victims, 7-year-old Julian King.
Balfour was first detained for questioning on October 24, the day Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found shot to death in their home on Chicago's South Side. Authorities said at the time that they were holding Balfour for an unspecified parole violation.

I'm sure it was just a technical, no reason to take him off the streets.
