Jennifer Hudson Expresses Sympathy for William Balfour

During an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, Jennifer Hudson touched on William Balfour, the man convicted of killing her mother, brother and nephew in October 2008. Showing incredible perspective and a capacity for forgiveness, the Oscar winner said she doesn’t entirely blame the ex-husband of her sister Julia for the horrendous crime he committed. “For the most part, it’s not his fault,” Hudson said. “It’s what he was taught, how he was brought up.”
