Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Buglary

Possibly. Don't talk to the police. If charged, get a lawyer.

Re: Buglary

You can always be charged. However, if this is all you did, a conviction for burglary is pretty unlikely. Burglary requires generally that you entered the structure with intent to commit some kind of crime within it.

If you are contacted by the police, don't issue a statement without a lawyer present. If this happens and you are serious about help, contact us.

Best of Luck.

Re: Buglary

Can you? Sure.

Will that be enough to convict you? Depends on all the facts and evidence, and the allegations in the criminal complaint.

Hire an attorney if you're charged. If this is in SoCAL, feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.

Re: Buglary

Yes, you can be charged. Someone can be charged when they do not do anything and they are completely innocent. However, being convicted is a different story. If the police question you about this do not speak to them without having an attorney present. Simply tell them you would like an attorney and do not talk with them. I would suggest calling around to find an attorney. Good Luck

Re: Buglary

To be liable for burglary, one must enter someone else's residence with intent to commit a crime inside. Technically, if you simply closed the door you are not guilty. That said, if you were seen handling the door this could be used as circumstantial evidence of a break-in against you and a zealous prosecutor could file charges.

If you are being investigated or charged with a crime your absolutely best option is to hire a private lawyer as soon as possible. Sometimes, especially in situations when people are truly innocent, an effective lawyer can prevent charges from being filed altogether. Once charges are filed, your costs and chances of success decrease significantly.

Feel free if you desire additional non-binding consultation.
