What Does a Burglary Charge Entail?

North Carolina law defines burglary as breaking and entering into someone else’s home during the night with the plan to commit a crime. The state classifies these charges as either first-degree or second-degree burglary. This classification depends on whether a person was inside the home when the entry happened. Convictions for these crimes lead to heavy penalties, so you should hire a Hendersonville attorney with the experience to build a strong case.

Common defenses for burglary charges include:

• You had permission from the owner to be on the property.
• You did not plan to commit any crime once inside.
• You were under duress or forced to enter the building.
• You have an alibi proving you were elsewhere during the incident.
• The state lacks enough evidence to show you committed the act.
