Guilty verdict in Hudson trial
A US jury has convicted a man of murdering three members of actress Jennifer Hudson's family in 2008.
William Balfour, Ms Hudson's former brother-in-law, was found guilty on three counts of first-degree murder by the jury in Chicago.
Prosecutors said Balfour shot Ms Hudson's mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew after his estranged wife refused to reconcile with him.
Jennifer Hudson was overcome with tears as the verdict was read. Alastair Leithead reports.
