Syllabus

Court, per Mayle, J., held that state presented sufficient evidence of \trespass\ element of aggravated burglary where defendant entered victim's home through bedroom window while she was sleeping. Jury did not lose its way in rejecting defendant's claim of privilege. Reasonable juror could find that defendant's apologies and talk of suicide related to his assault of victim. This evidence can show consciousness of guilt, therefore, consciousness-of-guilt jury instruction was appropriate.
