Burglary

Few laws are as complicated and difficult to understand as the statutes surrounding burglary. Innocent mistakes or a momentary lapse in judgment can result in a lifetime of penalties and hardships. Further complicating burglary crimes are conditions such as the type of dwelling, possession of tools to aid the crime, and the type of crime committed during the burglary.

Burglary can include:

• residential burglary (the breaking and entering into a residence)

• commercial burglary

• burglary involving the use of a deadly weapon

• home invasion burglary

Being arrested for a burglary crime is undoubtedly a traumatizing experience. Even though every American is entitled to be presumed innocent, many people soon discover once they are in the criminal justice system that they are presumed guilty; even though this could not be further from the truth.
