 Criminal Law case
Princess Mia keeps her fabulous diamond, the Pink Panther, on her bedside table. Sir Charles Litton intends to steal it. He goes to her home, at night, and climbs through an open windoiow, intending to steal the diamond from her bedside table. He does so, without waking the Princess. He is caught and charged with burglary, which is defined as breaking and entering a dwelling house, at night, with the intent to commit a larceny. Since Litton had the requisite intent and physical act, is he culpable under the Statue? |
