Overview
Burglary in Colorado Springs
Colorado treats burglary as a serious felony — even when nothing is taken. The State must prove unlawful entry and intent to commit a crime inside, and both elements can be challenged with the right investigation.
We scrutinize the search, the identification procedures, the alleged intent that elevates a trespass into a burglary charge, and any statements made to police. Identification cases in particular often turn on how the witness was shown photos or how the suspect was first detained.
When the facts support reduction to criminal trespass or another lesser charge, we make that case to the prosecutor. When they do not, we prepare the file for trial.
