The mother of the man convicted of killing Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter screamed in court that the famous actor had sexually abused the victim and was to blame for her death.
Lamar Davenport was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the slaughter of E’Dena Hines, whom he stabbed 25 times while high on PCP.
During the hearing his mother reportedly yelled out in the court room: “Morgan Freeman molested her and he caused this. He did this.”
In 2009 The National ENQUIRER reported shocking claims that the A-list actor was caught in a secret love affair with Hines that began when she was a teen. Both vehemently denied the alleged decades-long affair.
At the time, the charge emerged during the bitter divorce battle between the acclaimed actor and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee, a source told The ENQUIRER.
The alleged affair not only contributed to his split from Myrna, his wife of 25 years, it also led to his breakup with his longtime mistress, former schoolteacher Mary Joyce Hays.
Breaking Celebrity News readers know Hines was the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife, Jeannette Adair Bradshaw. Although Morgan was not related to Hines by blood, he agreed to raise her with his second wife, Myrna Colley-Lee.
As the 20-year sentence was handed down in Manhattan Supreme Court, the convicted killer’s mother reportedly screamed: “He’s innocent! It was an accident!”
She was escorted out of court following her outbursts.
Davenport was convicted of the felony charge of manslaughter in the first degree and was sentenced to 20 years in state prison as well as five years of supervision post-prison release.
Breaking Celebrity News previously obtained exclusive surveillance video of Hines’ gruesome death.
The uncovered footage obtained by Breaking Celebrity News showed Hines and Davenport stepping out of a car in upper Manhattan slashing her throat with a knife.
Davenport then straddled the helpless woman as she flailed her legs and arms, fighting for her life. Three young men entered the shot as Davenport plunged the knife into Hines’ torso.
The disturbing video shows two of the men walking into the street feet away from the crime, but fai
