The Thin Blue Line quotes

  • Sam Kittrell: In talking to David you don't ever feel hostile feelings coming from him.

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.
