    Default Burglary Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania.

    I was recently charged with burglary, simple assault, and criminal trespass. I am a first time offender, 22 years old, and a good student (I pray to God I avoid jailtime since I am attending graduate school in a few weeks).

    What do you believe is the most likely outcome?

    The burglary charge came from the claim that I forcibly entered another individual's bedroom in the house we live in.

    You need an attorney.

    NOW.

    You have, perhaps, not only put your freedom at risk but also endangered your chances of further schooling.

    You didn't mention your exact charges... but the ones you mention all have jail time as a possible consequence.

    Jail time is a real concern if possabile avoiding a felony conviction would be very important also.

    Spoke with my attorney today. Assistant DA on my case will be dropping Burglary and Criminal Trespass. Will charge me with simple assault. Huge relief and lesson learned. Hopefully I will be able to get this misdemeanor expunged eventually...
