Michael Lagrone, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Michael Lagrone's conviction, holding that the arrest warrant was supported by probable cause because the affidavit contained sufficient factual allegations to permit a reasonable inference that Lagrone was the robber. The majority rejected the lower court's finding of insufficiency and therefore did not need to consider the good‑faith exception or attenuation of the confession. Two dissenting judges argued that the affidavit lacked the necessary nexus and that the majority overstepped its authority.
