Man jailed for Hudson family deaths

The man who gunned down Jennifer Hudson's family has been given three life sentences
The man convicted of gunning down the mother, brother and nephew of Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson will spend the rest of his life in prison.
A judge in the US gave William Balfour three life sentences.
Balfour was convicted earlier this year of first-degree murder over the 2008 killings.
Actress and singer Jennifer was in the Chicago courtroom for the sentencing.
The sentencing came after a judge denied a request from Balfour for a new trial.
Balfour was married to the Dreamgirls star's sister. Prosecutors contend he shot the family members in a jealous rage because she was dating another man.
