Q: your at a house that burned down and the kid who owned it was there throwing a party, can you get in trouble if caught
Ok so i was at a party and the kid who owned the house was there but the house was burned down but he doesnt own it anymore the insurance does. I got caught by the police and they said i might get charged with breaking and entering. The kid who threw the party at his burned down house opened the door with his keys. So i was invited and can prove it but i did not do the breaking in. I did not have anything illegal on me and they did not take a breathalyzer so cant prove i was drinking. so can i get in trouble for this?
A: I hear no case for B&E if you were invited into the house by the owner, but if the boy didn't own the house, then that might qualify as B&E.
