Where there is a Law, there is no free will. As soon as God said, "Thou Shalt Not," man's free will was destroyed. If man was not "free" to eat from any tree he pleased (without penalty), and if man is not "free" to reject Christ (without penalty), he is not truly free. Freedom is not freedom if the "freedom" to choose is prejudiced by a threat of punishment for choosing "wrongly."
