Hollywood Crime Update: Arrests and Indictments in Jennifer Hudson, Mark Ruffalo Cases

By Kyle Buchanan on December 31, 2008 at 5:24 AM

Today brought news in two murder cases: the death of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew, and the mysterious shooting of Mark Ruffalo’s brother, Scott.

In the former case, Hudson’s brother-in-law William Balfour was formally indicted on murder and home invasion charges in Chicago. Balfour continues to proclaim his innocence.

TMZ also reports that an arrest is imminent in the shooting death of Scott Ruffalo, though their sources declined to reveal who is being targeted by the police. However, the report can’t be good news for Shaha Mishaal Adham, the “Saudi princess” who was present during the shooting and claimed it was the result of a misbegotten game of Russian Roulette. As TMZ says, “the L.A. County Coroner begs to differ.”
