Re: first offence,not guilty

His chances of OR are slim and none. He doesn't have a permanent address.

Burglary is committed when a person enters a home with the intent to commit a felony or a petty theft. The use of water for a shower could be construed as a theft.

Depending upon the circumstances he may get probation, but there is a high probability that he could be sent to prison.
