AUSTIN, Tex. — A man whose conviction for the slaying of a police officer was questioned in the movie “The Thin Blue Line” was denied parole Friday.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole voted 2 to 1 to deny parole for Randall Dale Adams because of the nature of the crime and use of a weapon in it, board spokeswoman Karin Armstrong said.
Adams has maintained that he is innocent of the 1976 shooting of Dallas police officer Robert Wood.
