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

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction, holding that the arrest warrant was supported by probable cause because the affidavit contained sufficient factual allegations, including eyewitness photo identifications, to infer the appellant's involvement. Consequently, the arrest was lawful and the confession was admissible. The Court declined to apply the good‑faith exception or attenuation analysis because the warrant was deemed valid. Two dissenting judges argued that the affidavit lacked the necessary nexus and that the majority overreached by deciding a non‑present issue.
