Re: robbery w/ weapon

the state must prove that your boyfirend broke into and entered a home/business/building, with the intent to commit a felony once inside; in addition they must show that he had a weapon in his possession. Please be aware however, that sometimes if a gun is stolen, the state will charge it as burglary with a weapon even though the defendant had no weapon at the time of the braking and entering. If you would like further consultation on this matter, please do not hesitate to call. All My Best, Joe Vredevelt, The Cochran Firm, 305.284.8000
