People v. Kwok
California Courts of Appeals
75 Cal. Rptr.2d 40 (1998)
Relevant factsFree
Kwok secretly entered a friend's home under the guise of doing repairs to remove and duplicate a door lock, enabling later access, then weeks later returned while she was at work, equipped with weapons, restraints, and a threatening audio recording, ultimately attacking her before she fought him off; he was convicted of first-degree burglary for both entries but challenged the first, arguing he had no intent to commit any felony on that particular day.
IssueFree
Whether entering a building with the intent to commit a felony at a later date satisfies the intent element required for the crime of burglary.
