my relationship with his attorney. And it's a long, complicated story, but I guess when people are involved, there's always a mess somewhere." Activism and personal life While in prison, Adams earned a correspondence-course degree from Lee College in Baytown, Texas. Adams later worked as an anti-death penalty activist. He wrote a book about his story, Adams v. Texas, which was published in June 1992. In 2001, at an anti-death penalty legislative hearing on behalf of the Texas Moratorium Network, Adams said:The man you see before you is here by the grace of God. The fact that it took 12-and-a-half years and a movie to prove my innocence should scare the hell out of everyone in this room and, if it doesn't, then that scares the hell out of me. In 1999, Adams married Jill Fratta, the sister of a death-row inmate. Death Adams died of a brain tumor in Washington Court House, Ohio on October 30, 2010, at the age of 61.
