Nearly four years after it began, a nightmare came to a conclusion on Tuesday for singer/actress Jennifer Hudson when the man convicted of killing several of her relatives was sentenced to three life sentences in an Illinois courtroom.  William Balfour was convicted two months ago for murdering Hudson's mother, brother and nephew on October 24th, 2008.  Balfour was also sentenced to an additional 120 years for additional charges.  Balfour had been married to Hudson's sister Julia Hudson before the couple split early in 2012.  The murders occurred in the family's Englewood estate on CHicago's South Side.
