Review of The Thin Blue Line (1988) by K J E — 25 Jul 2007
A powerful documentary which aided in the release of a man wrongfully convicted of murder- Errol Morris deserves a medal for doing what the Texas justice system could not do... finding the guilty party.
Watching this well structured documentary on video in 1989 forever changed my feelings about the death penalty. Just knowing an innocent man was convicted, sentenced to death and spent 13 years of his life in prison was enough for me to know there are serious flaws within the justice system in the state of Texas. If it could happen there, could it happen anywhere in the United States? The abundance of evidence shown in this film makes one wonder what if this happened to me or someone I love? How do you prove your innocence.?? Randall Dale Adams found himself in just this situation. If you have any interest in the workings of the justice system and/or the death penalty, you would do well to rent this DVD. The book, Adams vs. Texas, authored by Randall Dale Adams, William Hoffer and Marilyn Mona Hoffer sheds even more light on the plight of Mr. Adams.
