- 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."
