Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Claude Mulder, Jr. & Glen Dale Mulder, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
April 9, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1230
Summary
The Court affirmed the convictions of Glen and Claude Mulder, holding that the evidence was sufficient to prove the robbery and aggravated robbery elements necessary for attempted capital murder. It found that the order for Claude's blood and saliva sample was a valid search warrant but the supporting affidavit lacked sufficient probable cause; however, the admission of the blood testimony was harmless error. Justice Teague concurred in the affirmance for Glen but dissented regarding Claude, arguing the error was not harmless and should warrant reversal.
