Morgan kin killer called ‘delusional’
THE BOYFRIEND of Morgan Freeman’s granddaughter was delusional during the 2015 stabbing frenzy that killed her — and thought he was freeing her from “demons,” a defense expert testified Monday.
Lamar Davenport “suffered delusions he was releasing demons from (E’Dena Hines’) body,” Jeremy Colley said at the accused killer’s trial in Manhattan Supreme Court.
He said that was “evidence that he lacked substantial capacity to appreciate the nature and cons of his conduct and appreciate the wrongfulness.
“I don’t think he appreciated the reality that he was inflicting wounds that could lead to her death.”
Colley was called as a witness at Davenport’s bench trial to bolster the defense claim he should be found not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect because of a PCP-induced psychosis during the savage attack on Hines outside her W. 162nd St. building.
On cross-examination, prosecutor Christopher Prevost suggested that Colley ignored evidence that previous fights between the couple turned violent.
