Morgan Freeman blamed for granddaughter’s death at killer’s sentencing
 [PAGESIX] 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 news hound 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 long-suspected affair between Freeman and his step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines was finally confirmed during Davenport’s murder trial in Manhattan Supreme Court. 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.
