Talk:Randall Dale Adams

message: "Harris was an unsatisfactory suspect to police because he was 16-years-old and under Texas law could not be sentenced to death"
Although this seems to be likely - probably the single most likely explanation for the decision to prosecute Adams, if indeed there is a single explanation - I don't see how it can be stated as fact. Shouldn't this statement be qualified as being speculative? Edjack 23:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: This article could be re-written in a way that makes it easier to read and understand.
For example;  
In 2004, David Ray Harris was put to death in Texas for the unrelated murder of Mark Mays.[12][13] Harris had never been charged with the murder of Wood. Adams now works as an anti-death penalty activist.
''
Who is Wood and why is it related ? Who is Mark Mays (I guess it's the police officer)
Adams ended up in a legal battle with Morris concerning the rights to his story.
Who is Morris ? What happened ? The article doesn't take in consideration that some people may not have heard of the case or the documentary before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.82.109.102 (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the reference to David Ray Harris (he was the person who initially implicated Adams in the murder), as the later details of his life are irrelevant. I mentioned who Wood is (the person whom Adams was accused/convicted of murdering), and also who Morris is (the director of The Thin Blue Line). I agree that the article probably needs to be restructured in order to make the details more clear, or at least follow a more logical progression, but I don't know enough about the topic to be able to do that myself.
