Oram v. People

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that evidence was sufficient to show that bondsmen knew their entry into a residence was unlawful because they used a ruse — pretending they were in law enforcement — as part of their efforts to gain entry
• noting that the second degree burglary statute requires “that the defendant knew [their] entry was unlawful”
• stating consent negates elements of burglary, but instruction not warranted because party consenting to entry did not have authority to consent
• “The mental state of knowingly is a subjective rather than an objective standard and does not include a reasonable care standard.”
