Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: criminal charge

Code of Virginia � 18.2-89. Burglary; how punished.

"If any person break and enter the dwelling house of another in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony or any larceny therein, he shall be guilty of burglary, punishable as a Class 3 felony; provided, however, that if such person was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of such entry, he shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony."

I hope this is helpful.

Re: criminal charge

Burglary is a serious crime. Anyone charged with this offense must have competent criminal defense counsel to

defend the person so accused in all stages of the case, whether the location be Manassas or Grundy, Virginia.
