Jennifer Hudson may have been a target in the murder?

http://www.mediatakeout.c...nside.html

October 30, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just received a shocking report. According to the National Enquirer, Jennifer Hudson may have been the real target of William Balfour - the man who brutally murdered Jennifer's mother, brother and nephew.

Here's how they describe what set William off:

Julia [Hudson's] mother kicked [William] out of the family home last May because of his drug dealing, and he was furious. He vowed to Julia that her family would regret it and said he'd kill Jennifer ... He knew Jennifer was the most important person in their lives and that her death would devastate them...

He also said he was going to kidnap [7 year old] Julian and she'd never see him again. And he said, 'Then when your famous sister gets back into town, I'll do her too!' said the source.


On why no one had him arrested for making threats:

"Jennifer and Julia thought he wouldn't do anything that would send him back to jail," said one source.

How could they not think he wouldn't do anything after having a jail record like that for attempted murder?

I feel bad about everything that happened but seriously....

Yeah i gotta agree, attempted murder is technically "murder" but you failed the attempt, but your intent was to kill. Im hearing lots of different stories about this whole situation, but that part about him saying "im gonna do something, and that he was going to take the kid" was said a few times by neighbors and people that knew him. I have a feeling that alot of people didnt want to say anything because of his record, the whole "snitching" thing reappears.

Actually the source is the National Enquirer. It was also reported on VH1's site.
