New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Craig Lewis, Appellant

November 21, 20055 N.Y.3d 546

Summary

The Court affirmed the burglary conviction, holding that the intent to commit a crime element can be satisfied by the defendant's intent to engage in conduct prohibited by an order of protection, but not merely by the intent to enter the protected premises. The Court also found the evidence sufficient to prove such intent.
