Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law was found guilty of murdering the singer’s mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew in a grisly killing spree in Chicago in October 2008.
A jury on Friday found William Balfour guilty on three counts of first-degree murder for fatally shooting Hudson’s mom Darnell Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King.
He was also found guilty for home invasion and residential burglary.
Hudson was present in court for the reading of the verdict.
Balfour was estranged from his wife, Hudson’s sister Julia, at the time of the killings.
Hudson broke down in tears when she testified in the trial last month, telling the court of Balfour, “We did not like how he treated [Julia], and I didn’t like how he treated my nephew.”
Balfour faces life in prison.
