Randall Dale Adams

Randall Dale Adams was a Texas man wrongfully convicted of murder in 1977 for the death of a Dallas police officer. His conviction largely hinged on unreliable witness testimony and police misconduct. After spending over a decade in prison, his case gained attention through investigative journalism and the documentary "The Thin Blue Line," which highlighted the flaws in his trial. In 1994, new evidence led to his exoneration. Adams' story underscores issues of wrongful convictions, the importance of a fair judicial process, and the impact of media in bringing attention to miscarriages of justice.
