Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Clifford Olson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

November 26, 19691969 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1091

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Olson's forgery conviction, holding that the admission of handwriting exemplars taken without counsel, the admission of prior convictions for enhancement, and the prosecutor's argument did not constitute reversible error; all grounds of error were overruled. Justice Morrison, in a partial concurrence and dissent, agreed with the majority except on the issue of overruling Trammell v. State regarding blood draws and privacy rights.
