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.
