"You have the heart of an arctic night. Your soul is as barren as dark space." And with that, the judge in the murder case involving three members of Jennifer Hudson's family sentenced killer William Balfour to three life sentences, reports AP. Balfour shot to death the singer's sister, mother, and nephew in what prosecutors say was a jealous rage in 2008. Hudson herself attended the sentencing, just as she attended every day of the trial.
