Q. If a home owner invited me to stay the night and then I got back after they went to work. Is that proof of burglary?
A: I cannot give you legal advice without doing a conflict check in my firm, but I can direct you to the statute. To be convicted of burglary the State would need to prove a person was unlawfully in the home, and they also need to prove the person's intent to commit another crime. Here is the statute language:

(2) An actor commits burglary if the actor enters or remains unlawfully in a building or any portion of a building with intent to commit:

(a) a felony;

(b) theft;

(c) an assault on any person;

(d) lewdness, in violation of Section 76-9-702;

(e) sexual battery, in violation of Section 76-9-702.1;

(f) lewdness involving a child, in violation of Section 76-9-702.5; or

(g) voyeurism, in violation of Section 76-9-702.7. ... Read More
