How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that the defendants act of looking through kitchen cupboards and drawers was sufficient for a jury to conclude the defendant entered with the intent to commit theft
holding that breaking and entering followed by opening cupboards and drawers with no evidence of anything being taken was enough to support the specific intent to commit theft
stating that evidence that the defendant had been in the church kitchen and opened several cupboards and drawers while there permitted a reasonable inference of his felonious intent at the time of entry
“[p]ermitting the felonious intent element to be inferred from the inference of breaking and entering would render the intent element meaningless and read it out of the statute”
