Thin Thanks
</hdr><body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> Whose life is it anyway? Randall Dale Adams, released from
a Texas prison in March, wants the courts to decide. When he was
set free after serving 12 1/2 years, it was largely owing to
Errol Morris, whose movie The Thin Blue Line uncovered
exonerating evidence. Adams sold the rights for $10 in 1986, and
though still grateful to the filmmaker, is suing to determine
who owns them now. "Am I indentured to Morris for the rest of
my life?" he asks. The bespectacled Morris denies blocking Adams
from future profits. And the film is no Batman. Laments Morris:
"I'm still paying off bills."
