is randall adams still in jail in texas
Randall Dale Adams (December 17, 1948 â October 30, 2010) was a man who was wrongly convicted of murdering police officer Robert W. Wood and was subsequently sentenced to death. He served more than 12 years in prison and some of that time on death row.His death sentence was reduced through appeal to the United States Supreme Court, and eight years later he was released when evidence was uncovered to prove his innocence.n 1981, Mulder returned to practice private law in Dallas, and the new prosecution then dropped charges in 1989. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said (and Adams agreed) that conviction was unfair mainly because of prosecutor Doug Mulder.. Adams later worked as an anti-death penalty activist.
