The Thin Blue Line1988

Errol Morris:
Were you surprised when the police blamed him?

David Harris:
They didn't blame him. I did. A scared sixteen year old kid. He would sure like to get out of it if he can.

Errol Morris:
Do you think they believed you?

David Harris:
No doubt. Must have. They didn't have nothing else until I give them something, so... I guess they get something, they run with it, you know.

Errol Morris:
Were you surprised they believed you?

David Harris:
I might have been. I don't know. I was hoping they'd believe me, you know. After all was said and done it was kind of unbelievable. But there it is. I've always thought if you could say why there's a reason Randall Adams is in jail, it might be because the fact that he didn't have no place for somebody to stay that helped him that night... landed him where's he's at... That might be the reason. That might be the only, total reason why he's where he's at today.
