The man who killed the step-granddaughter of Morgan Freeman after stabbing her 25 times in front of multiple eyewitnesses has been found not guilty of murder.

Lamar Davenport, 33, was charged with second-degree murder in the fatal attack on 33-year-old E'Dena Hines, who was his girlfriend at the time.

He was convicted on a charge of manslaughter however after the defense argued that Davenport was in a drug-induced psychosis during the brutal slaying, brought on by his use of PCP.

One man who witnessed the attack testified at the trial that during the attack Davenport screamed: 'I love you. I always loved you. God would have wanted this.'
