Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Henry Earl Dunn, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
September 17, 19971997 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 65
Summary
The Court affirmed the capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the arrest warrant's lack of a magistrate's signature did not require suppression of the seized evidence or the videotaped confession, that the evidence was sufficient to identify the victim, and that the trial court did not err on other asserted points. Justice Mansfield filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the majority and emphasizing the good‑faith exception and attenuation analysis.
