    Can You Be Charged With Burglary if You Never Enter the Home
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri:
    I went to try and give my at the time I was not sure of it she was ex girlfriend or what my phone number. She did not answer but her father and brothers did. Her father tackled me before I could say hello and her brothers then proceeded to punch and kick me in the head on the ground while I did not fight back. I was detained by police in this small redneck town and then released an hour later after they made statements apparently. Two months later I find out there is a $20,000 felony burglary charge for my arrest. I never even made it into her house and there is apparently a video to prove this that law enforcement has access to proving that I got randomly tackled and beat after knocking on the door simply to give my phone number on a piece of paper to the daughter that lived there. There was no entering the house nor was there anything stolen and I have a supposition that the family and or daughter was lied to and or paid to make false statements possibly. That is another issue but my main question is - is it legal to charge someone two months after something happened with felony burglary when there was no burglary an no charge occurred when the cops originally came by ?It makes no sense to me.

    I also have text messages from the brother to my mother stating that they did not want to see me in trouble because they are not even sure what happened that constituted a crime on my behalf and that it was their moberly (Randolph county apparently) county prosecutor that pushed for them to press charges 2 months after the fact. It has now been 8 months since the incident and I do not even have court yet still to determine anything.

    Understand that it is not a SHE vs. YOU in a criminal charge. Society is who is harmed in a criminal act and the state is the one that prosecutes it on the behalf of the poeple. The state doesn't need her consent to charge you.

    If you are charged with a felony, you NEED a lawyer.

    You can be charged up to the point the statute of limitations runs out. For all but the most severe felonies in your state, that's three years. Two months between an offense and felony charges is NOTHING. I've seen the prosecutor not lodge charges for even misdemeanors for months after the incident.

    be aware that this same poster has posted on another board that this all had to do with a conspiracy theory involving the CIA/FBI/economic hitmans/spies/control tactics -- there are some screws loose on this one....
