Mom Claims Son is not the Murderer

Who would of thought, a mother claiming her son is an innocent upstanding citizen, even though his criminal record says different.

[QUOTE] Davis-Balfour disputed that her son and Julia Hudson had a rocky relationship. Grace asked if the two were "romantically" involved, and Balfour answered that they were. Julia Hudson and her son were together Thursday night after she invited Balfour to celebrate her birthday by having cake.

"People don't understand what's going on. My son loved her. She loved him," Davis-Balfour said. "...Regardless to whatever anyone says, my son still loved Julia." [/QUOTE]

If that was the case then please explain you previous comment..

[QUOTE]"My son's alibi was [he was] with one of his girlfriends, OK?" Davis-Balfour said. When Grace asked which girlfriend he was with Friday, the mother said her son was with a woman named Diana on Friday night, and with a woman named Kate on Saturday morning.[/QUOTE]

If he loved her as much as you say, why was he out with other Girlfriends?

[QUOTE]"You all have put my son's face on worldwide news like he's -- like he's Attila the Hun," Davis-Balfour said. "You all are not saying that my son obtained his GED while he was in the correctional facility. You all are not saying that my son took up horticulture while he was there. William is a very smart and intelligent young man."[/QUOTE]

No he is low life scum. If he were a good person he would not have been in jail in the first place, if he were really smart and intelligent he would have not dropped out of school.

[QUOTE] The mother also defended her son's criminal past, including his carjacking and attempted murder charges.

"No, he has never done bodily harm to no one. He has never been the type of kid that you could say was a violent type," she said.[/QUOTE]

....Wait what?

[QUOTE]Balfour is now in state custody for a parole violation. He spent nearly seven years in prison for [B]attempted murder[/B], carjacking and possession of a stolen vehicle and was released in May of this year.[/QUOTE]

Sounds rather violent to me.

[QUOTE]My son -- it was still in the man's car, right? The man saw my son starting his car. He ran outside, jumped on top of his own vehicle.

"This is why they said vehicle hijacking, because my son jumped -- the man jumped on top of the car while my son was stealing it, right? He stuck his hand inside the driver's side and started choking my son. So my son kept driving even more, took the owner of the vehicle on a high-speed ..." Davis-Balfour said.[/QUOTE]

Ahhh that clears everything up :rolleyes:... just like every other failure out there she has to defend her failure of a son. I wouldn't be surprised if she blames the other man for having a nice car that tempted her innocent angel to steal it.

[QUOTE]"There's a lot of work to be done. We'll be sure we go through this thoroughly," Weis said. Asked about possible motives, Weis replied, "We don't know what the motive really was at this time. But, clearly, you have people who do know each other, so it wasn't a case of a stranger-type homicide."[/QUOTE]

Well from what neighbors said Balfour got in an argument with Hudson's mother over a car he wanted to take. During the argument he told her she would be sorry for crossing him, he was going to ****ing kill her and her family for that. Sounds like they already found the killer to me.
