Ventura Burglary Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense Lawyer in Ventura County, California

California law defines burglary as entering another's property without permission in order to commit a crime. Most often, burglary is associated with theft and may also be referred to as “breaking and entering”. A person may be charged with burglary whether or not he or she is successful in carrying out the criminal offense he or she intended to commit. For this reason, proving the defendant's intent to commit a crime plays a major role in the prosecution's ability to secure a conviction. The prosecution must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the defendant illegally entered the victim's property with the intention to commit a crime. If no evidence is present of the intent to commit a crime, a burglary conviction will be much more difficult for the prosecution to secure.
