JOLIET (Illinois) - THE convicted felon questioned in the killings of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew in Chicago has a chance at winning his freedom in a parole hearing.

William Balfour is set for a hearing on Monday before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board in Joliet.

No one has been charged in the shootings but authorities have called Balfour a 'person of interest'.

He's the estranged husband of Julia Hudson, the sister of the singer and actress.

The 27-year-old Balfour is in custody for violating his parole from a 1999 attempted murder conviction.

Review Board Chairman Jorge Montes says Balfour could be released if the board finds no cause to continue holding him. -- AP
