Granddaughter of actor Morgan Freeman stabbed to death

In an emotional sentencing of the man who killed Morgan Freeman’s granddaughter, the defendant’s family screamed that it was all the famed “Shawshank Redemption” actor’s fault, alleging that he sexually abused the victim when she was younger.

“Morgan Freeman molested her and he caused this. He did this,” Lamar Davenport’s mother yelled to a reporter as she was ushered out of court for shouting to her son when Justice Ellen Biben handed down a 20-year sentence.

“He’s innocent! It was an accident!” she insisted.

The allegations of an affair between Freeman and his step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines were made by the defense during Davenport’s murder trial in Manhattan Supreme Court. Freeman has strongly denied the allegations.

Davenport was convicted of stabbing Hines, who was his girlfriend, more than 25 times Aug. 16, 2015, on West 162nd Street.

He was in the throes of a PCP-induced rage when he slaughtered Hines in full view of neighbors and pedestrians.

In a partial win for the defense, Davenport was found guilty of the lesser included charge of manslaughter. He waived a jury trial, leaving his fate entirely in the hands of Biben.

Hines’s niece, Ayanna Freeman, and biological mother, Deena Adair, delivered heart-wrenching victim impact statements.

“My soulmate was taken from me, and ever since then I continue to feel the emptiness,” Ayanna Freeman choked into the microphone, often taking long pauses to compose herself.

“We shared so many of my first experiences together. There were supposed to be other firsts that she cannot and will not be a part of. This experience has forever changed me as a person.”

Adair is the daughter of Freeman’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, and another man.

Hines was adopted and raised by Freeman and his second wife, Myrna Colley-Lee.

Hines and her biological mother were just starting to reconnect, and the two spent time together the day she was murdered.

“How could I know it would be the last time I would see her or hear her voice?” asked Adair, tearfully.

“There is a void in our family. Those were our last laughs together, and I’ll never be able to hold my child again. I will never see her get married or have children. There will forever be an empty seat at our family gatherings.”

“MY NEIGHBORS F0RCED ME TO HIDE MY ‘UGLY’ CAR – THEN THEY BEGGED ME TO REMOVE THE FENCE” That weathered 1967 Chevy Impala in my front yard wasn’t just a car – it was the last gift from my father, a master mechanic who spent his final years teaching me how to bring this classic back to life. Sure, its faded paint and dusty windows might not fit the suburban aesthetic, but every scratch told our story. The complaints started almost immediately after I parked it on my property. Katherine from across the street led the charge, rallying the neighborhood with petitions about “property values” and “community standards.” Despite explaining my restoration plans, the city soon ordered me to either move the car (impossible without a tow) or erect a privacy fence. The six-foot wooden barrier cost me $3,200 – money I’d been saving for the Impala’s new transmission. But the neighborhood got its picture-perfect streetscape… for about three weeks. Then came the unexpected knock at my door. Katherine stood on my porch wringing her hands, flanked by other neighbors wearing identical expressions of sheepish desperation. “About the fence…” she began, avoiding my eyes. “We were wondering if you might consider… removing it?” When pressed, the truth came tumbling out: Turns out that “eyes0re” of mine had been hiding something far w0rse from view… [CONTINUE READING TO DISCOVER THE SH0CKING REASON THEY WANTED THE FENCE GONE – INCLUDING WHAT THE IMPALA WAS SECRETLY PROTECTING]

MY HUSBAND MOCKED ME, CALLING ME “FAT” IN MY NEW DRESS – I DECIDED TO TEACH HIM A LESSON HE’LL NEVER FORGET. For the past few years, I’ve been struggling with my weight. No matter what I did, those extra pounds just wouldn’t budge! The thing is, I’m a pastry chef, and you can imagine that tasting everything is part of the job. And my husband, Bryce… well, he didn’t make things any easier. Most women hope for support from their partner, but mine never missed a chance to mock me. When I put on my new dress, he said, “TAKE IT OFF! BUY YOURSELF A GYM MEMBERSHIP.” And then he called his friends and laughed, making jokes about my weight, and thinking I couldn’t hear. But the final straw was when I finally managed to drag him to an important culinary event, and he had the nerve to flirt with another woman right in front of me! When I confronted them, he simply said, “THIS IS HOW A WOMAN SHOULD LOOK IN A DRESS. GO AWAY!” He continued to laugh with her. My heart shattered into tiny pieces, but I knew I wouldn’t tolerate it any longer. I’d had enough. He would pay for all the humiliation because I had an ace up my sleeve.👇
