Jennifer Hudson Family Murder Trial To Be Televised!

According to reports, the murder trial into the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s family may be televised.

CBS Chicago state that the decision was apparently made after the Illinois Supreme Court allowed microphones and cameras to be taken into courtrooms. “This is another step to bring more transparency and more accountability to the Illinois court system,” Chief Justice Kilbride said in a statement earlier this week.

“The provisions of this new policy keep discretion in the chief circuit judge and the trial judge to assure that a fair and impartial trial is not compromised, yet affords a closer look at the workings of our court system to the public through the eyes of the electronic news media and news photographers,” he added.

If the trial gets the approval to be televised then it will be one of the first in the state to do so.

William Balfour stands trial accused of murdering Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew in 2008 and it was recently claimed that Jennifer may be asked to testify against Balfour, although this is yet to be confirmed.
