Jennifer Hudson: DNA evidence in brother-in-law's case lacking

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO -

There appears to be no "smoking gun" when it comes to DNA in the case of the man accused of killing Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew.

Prosecutors put on science experts who have testified that the DNA of suspect William Balfour was not found on the murder weapon. Illinois State Police analyst Pauline Gordon said she tested the .45-caliber pistol and found a limited amount of DNA belonging to a male - but the genetic material didn't come from Balfour.

Gordon explained DNA wouldn't be present if the killer wore gloves or wiped the weapon clean.

Balfour is accused of killing Hudson's mother Darnell Donerson, her brother Jason Hudson and her 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, in October, 2008.
