Avoid the Consequences at all Costs
Burglary is simply the unauthorized entry into a building or dwelling with
the intent to commit a crime therein. You could be charged with either
misdemeanor or felony burglary depending on the circumstances of your
accusation.
Factors which go into determining a sentence include:
- The seriousness of the crime committed
- Whether the accused has a history of burglary
- The nature of the property trespassed upon—commercial or residential
- The time of day—nighttime burglaries are more serious
First degree burglary in New York is the most serious and typically involves
the use of force and can put you in jail for up to 25 years in addition
to fines and other consequences such as the loss of driving and civil
privileges.
