My boyfriend is charged with home invasion, the victim is not showing up in court at all but the co-defendant has agreed to testify against my boyfriend. Can he be found guilty without a victim??

Re: Home invasion

He can be found guilty without the victim, but it is very unlikely with just the statement of the co-defendant. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your boyfriend was not authorized to enter the premises, and usually only the owner of the premises can establish that. However, there are times when that can be established by what is called circumstantial evidence.

If you would like additional information, or to discuss the matter in greater detail, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
