Adams, Dallas DA
seek investigation,
prepare new trial
DALLAS (AP) — Even as Randall
Dale Adams walks as a free man to
day, prosecutors are tracking down
witnesses in an effort to try him
again for the killing of a Dallas po
lice officer 13 years ago.
Adams, who was imprisoned
more than 12 years before his re
lease Tuesday, says a new trial is his
only chance for vindication. His
1977 conviction for killing officer
Robert Wood was dismissed earlier
this month.
“I would like to have some an
swers from the prosecutors”, Adams
said in an interview today on NBC-
TV’s “Today” show. “I don’t know if
we can receive all the answers I’d like
to have but I would like to receive
some of them.”
Dallas County District Attorney
John Vance said today he will decide
within two weeks whether to retry
Adams.
Court confirms
conviction
of Henry Lucas
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals Wednes
day affirmed the conviction of
Henry Lee Lucas, who is on Death
Row for the murder-rape of a fe
male hitchhiker whose body, clad
only in orange socks, was found near
Austin.
Lucas, after being arrested on a
firearm charge in 1983, had con
fessed to murdering the unidenti
fied woman. The body of the
woman, who had been asphyxiated,
was found on Oct. 31, 1979 next to a
culvert near Interstate 35 north of
Georgetown.
The statement regarding that kill
ing was among numerous murder
confessions made by Lucas, who has
received life sentences and prison
terms in other cases.
Lucas since has said he really only
killed his mother in Tecumseh,
Mich., in 1960. Attorney General
Jim Mattox in 1986 said law officers
had accepted dozens of bogus con
fessions from Lucas.
On appeal in the hitchhiker case,
Lucas, among other claims, pro
tested the admissibility of six
statements he made to law enforce
ment officials between June 1983
and February 1984.
Lucas had said he struggled with
the victim after she refused to have
sex with him, killed her, had sex with
the corpse, then dumped the wom
an’s body into the culvert, according
to the opinion.
Lucas complained in the appeal in
the hitchhiker case that the trial
court erred in admitting written
statements into evidence, saying they
were obtained in violation of his
rights to assistance of counsel.
Crucial to the decision is investiga
tors’ ability to find two key witnesses,
Vance said.
Police are trying to locate a Loui
siana man who had identified Ad
ams. The man’s initial testimony has
not been impeached, but at a later
federal hearing the man said he did
not remember his testimony, Vance
said.
The second witness is a woman
authorities have not contacted in 13
years, he said.
Vance said he did not recall the
witnesses’ names or other details.
Adams has said he hopes ques
tions raised by the documentary
“Thin Blue Line,” which chronicled
his conviction, can be answered in a
new trial.
He is confident he will not be con
victed again.
“I’m not afraid of that now,” he
told ABC-TV’s “Nightline” on Tues
day. “I believe we’re going to win
and I believe we can prove it.”
While Adams’ mother, Mildred,
decorated her trailer in Grove City,
Ohio, with yellow ribbons for his re
turn, Adams traveled to Houston
with his attorney to lay groundwork
for a new trial.
On the way, he sipped his first
beer in 12 years, a treat from the air
plane’s captain.
Adams was scheduled to talk with
reporters at a 1:30 p.m. news confer
ence today at defense attorney
Randy Schaffer’s office.
“It ain’t over,” Schaffer said Tues
day after hours of arguing over
whether a judge in the case should
be dismissed.
“Thin Blue Line” director Erroll
Morris said he was proud to have
prompted renewed interest in Ad
ams’ case.
“This is not a story of how some
one uses legal wrangling to get out
of jail,” Morris said. “This is the
story of a miscarriage of justice. This
is the story of a man who came
within three days of a lethal injection
in Huntsville.
“It’s a terrible story,” he said. “It’s
a story of manipulation of evidence,
supression of evidence.”
On the “Today” show, Morris re
called he met Adams four years ago
while making another movie.
“Randall Adams told me a story
and at first I didn’t believe him, but I
became caught up into a three-year
investigation into this case, and it’s
my hope that the film has helped,
and that I have in part been instru
mental in what’s happened yester
day in Texas.
“I’m happy for him and for his
family. This is a day that we’ve been
waiting for for so many many years.
I’m just delighted that he has an
other chance at life,” Morris said.
The Texas Court of Criminal Ap
peals ruled March 1 that Adams did
not receive a fair trial, based on the
witnesses lying on the stand and su-
pressed evidence from the Dallas
County district attorney’s office.
