Randall Dale Adams, who spent 12 years in prison before his conviction in the murder of a Dallas police officer was thrown out largely on the basis of evidence uncovered by a filmmaker, died in obscurity in October in Washington Court House, Ohio. He was 61.
Randall Adams was featured in the film The Thin Blue Line.
Mr Adams had chosen to live a quiet life divorced from his past, and when he died on Oct 30 2010 of a brain tumor, the death was reported only locally, said his lawyer, Randy Schaffer. The death was first widely reported on Friday.
The film that proved so crucial to Mr Adams was The Thin Blue Line, directed by Errol Morris and released in 1988. It told a harrowing story, and it had the effect of helping to bring about Mr Adams’s release the following year. The New York Times article 26th September 2011 Douglas Martin

A house without warmth or laughter ... The abuse began when the children were tiny. ibid.
Shafilea told her friends at school that she was being beaten daily. ibid.
For nine years Shafilea Ahmed’s parents thought their surviving children were so terrified of them that they would never break ranks.
They had carried out the murder in front of them, and afterwards each child, aged between seven and 15, was warned that they, too, would be killed if they ever revealed the truth.
To ensure there were no lapses, they were given a detailed ‘script’ of what they should and should not say to friends, teachers and the police.

But their so-called family honour held firm until Alesha, 15 at the time of the killing, finally found the courage to speak up for her dead sister. The Telegraph online article 3rd August 2012, ‘Shafilea Ahmed: sisters who witnessed a murder’
