Here's the courtroom sketch of Jennifer Hudson, who took the stand Monday in the Chicago trial of the man accused of killing her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in a jealous rage four years ago. It was an emotional day for Hudson, who cried on the stand at one point, reports ABC News, as she recalled her close relationship with her mother. "I slept with my mom until I was 16 years old," she testified, also noting that she would sign blank checks and leave them for her mother so that she could pay the household bills. Hudson left the stand after about 30 minutes, but plans to be in court every day for the trial.
