PEOPLE, Page 79Thin ThanksBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
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."
