- CONVICTION OVERTURNED. Randall Adams, 40, accused cop
- killer, by a Texas appeals court, which set aside a 1977 guilty
- verdict on grounds of suppressed evidence and perjured
- testimony; in Austin. A documentary, The Thin Blue Line,
- publicized the plight of Adams, who maintained his innocence in
- the 1976 slaying of a Dallas police officer. The public
- recanting by the prosecution's chief witness could result in a
- new trial or, if Adams' defense lawyers have their way, his
- release.
