Just few hours back, I heard on the TV that the gun used to murder Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and young nephew has been found.
In the latest news concerning Jennifer Hudon and her family’s unfortunate saga, the weapon was found by a detective searching land close to where the body of seven-year-old Julian King was discovered in a car last weekend.
Police is not shying on committing resources to this case. They sent about 100 personnel to the area on the city’s West Side after the breakthrough. The weapon is being taken to the Illinois State Police crime lab for forensic testing.

This is as bizarre a story as it gets. I been able to collect this material from different source sources online. But here it goes.
Gwen Araujo, who at that time went by the name “Lida”, was introduced to a circle of friends whom she met during a chance encounter while walking down a local street. The group of young adults enjoyed passing the evening hours with party activities that included playing dominos and consuming drugs and alcohol at the home of Araujo’s to-be assailants.
A few weeks later, she was invited back to the house where a party was planned. Before leaving for the party, Gwen had an argument with her mother over the attire. This was the last time Sylvia Guerrero saw her child alive.
At the party on October 3, 2002 it was discovered, by forced inspection (conducted by Nicole Brown, a young woman at the party), that Araujo had male genitalia, following which the men that she had had sexual relations with became extremely agitated. Once it was discovered that Araujo was biologically male, Mike Magidson began choking her in the hallway of the house.

Marjorie Knoller has been sent back to the jail and had I been the judge, I would have done the same thing.
During the hearing, the judge strongly spoke out against Marjorie Knoller’s behaviour, especially the indifference and no remorse exhibited for the neighbor who was torn apart by Marjorie’s dogs in San Francisco apartment hallway.
I also agree with the length of the sentence. (Perhaps the more, the merrier). Marjorie Knoller was sentenced to 15 years of life in prison. The attack dogs were nothing but weapons and Marjorie had full responsibility for the dogs. If the dog bites someone, the owners have to pay for it. And If the dogs kill someone, the owner should be held responsible. Read the full story
