The boyfriend of Morgan Freeman's granddaughter pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to a second-degree murder charge in her stabbing death, and newly released documents show he ranted about Jesus Christ and the devil to officers after his arrest.
"I don't even know why I'm here right now," Lamar Davenport told two police officers at a Manhattan precinct station house shortly after he was arrested on 16 August while standing over Edena Hines' body, a knife still sticking out of her chest, according to prosecutors.
Twenty minutes later, while being driven to a hospital, the 30-year-old Davenport called Jesus Christ "saviour" and the devil "evil" before telling the officers to "repent for your sins," the court papers show. He also asked the officers if they believed in Jesus and complained his handcuffs were too tight, according to court papers.
