    Angry Home Invasion

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: home invasion

    My boyfriend broke into someone's house that he knew. No one was home at the time. he is also on probation now for robbing someone. he only served 6 months in jail for that. he claims that he gave all the stuff that he took back to the rightful owner but there are still things that's missing from the house. now the police is waiting on some fingerprints and they said that it will take 4 to six weeks for them to come back. it has been now six weeks since the incident and we haven't heard anything about the prints matching. what degree of home invasion will he we charged with and how would they sentence him? also, the other stuff that was claimed to be stolen, they have no proff that it was taken or even exist. He and the person who owned the house has an agreement that if he replaces all the items that was stolen then she wouldn't press charges, but can he still get into trouble if she doesn't press charges?

    It's up to the da to bring up charges,hopefully if the person says they don't want to press charges the case would be thrown out.If they choose to prosecute,the previous conviction will work against him,if found guitly he looking at more then a token amt of jail time.

    ... if she doesn't decide to press charges can he still be thrown into jail because of the prints if they are found? she said as long as he pays her back then she won't press charges so him going to jail is up to her?... and what is a "da?"

    Regardless of the deal the victim might cut with the suspect, the DA (District Attorney - the prosecutor) can still file charges if they wish. If I were the DA I would file on your boyfriend because he is obviously a danger to society as a result of his predatory nature. And even if the DA does NOT file, it is likely his probation will be revoked and he will return to custody for his original offense.

    No one can say what WILL happen. I would bet that he is going to jail, but stranger things have happened.

    The better the attorney the better the outcome. However, i think he will probobly go to jail. DAs don't like repeat offenders
