William Balfour Will Probably Be Charged Soon

TMZ has learned that William Balfour, the prime suspect in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's family, has anger management issues.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ why officials believe William Balfour violated his parole -- he had missed anger management counseling and substance abuse courses that were required as a condition of his release from prison.

Balfour had served time for attempted murder and carjacking. The anger management lapse is ominous, given that he's a "person of interest" in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. As for the substance abuse courses, the Chicago Sun-Times quotes a witness as saying they saw a man resembling Balfour exiting the infamous white SUV "carrying what appeared to be a bottle of liquor."

Several law enforcement sources tell us Balfour could be charged in the murders as early as today, but no timetable is definite.

I'm not a lawyer or a judge or anything that matters or is related to the judicial system, but why exactly is someone who attempted to MURDER someone else running around free anyway? If you attempt to kill someone, then clearly you're still a murderer. Just a shitty one. I'd like to make a motion for anyone who attempts murder and fails to be sentenced even longer than someone who succeeds. Who do I call?
