That makes it second degree trespassing a class two misdemeanor. Intent is irrelevant. Know the law, it won't hurt. So what if there are items of value. If you take anything it is theft of the item and nothing more. Sorry but you and your paralegal buddy need to go to the Colorado Criminal Code (it is at he local library).
Sorry that you have no idea what constitutes a burglary. Nice that you claim to be a paralegal, however a little alleged knowledge is dangerous. A burglary consists of the unlawful entry into a (occupied) or (unoccupied) BUILDING with th intent to commit a crime therein. Jumping over a fence designed to exclude intruders is a class two MISDEMEANOR. Stealing $ 15.00 of "pig food" is a class three MISDEMEANOR. Thus, before spouting off you should know what you are talking about.
Have a nice day or as you apparent hero Kerry would say : "Pax Vobiscum"
Another Deputy DA ( Mike Stern) leaves the sinking ship. ( Isn't that 10 to 12 since Bonzie took over?) What is going on in that Office ?? My guess that it is Bonzie and Kerry. Can't we do beter ?? Several of the Deputies who have jumped ship would be calpable of bringing honor and stability to that Office. As taxpayers aren't we entitled to that ??
Several comments: (1) Kerry NEVER negotiates any case at "arms length". He dictates his offer and his response if one attempts to review the offer (assuming that you can find him as he hides in his back office) is "take it or leave it". There simply is NO discussion. (2) Did Kerry inform the defendants of the exculpatory evidence (that the victims opposed the offer AND that the defendants did NOT break into the building but had trespassed by jumping over a fence (a misdemeanor) as he is mandated to do?; (3) Kerry says that the defendants contacted a numbrer of lawyers who advised to take the misdemeanor. One of the defendants contacted me and I bluntly told him that Kerry will not discuss an offer that it is "take it or leave it" and that even trying to deal with Kerry is such an unpleasant experience that I would not take the case as there would be nothing that I could do to help the potential client; (4) Kerry then blames Judge Garrecht for not rejecting the plea; (5) Kerry says that SUBSEQUENTLY to the entry of the pleas and sentencing that the victim came foward with new information (if this is true then Kerry was obligated to inform the defendants and dismiss the case or revisit his offer). This is directly contrary to the victim calling Kerry PRIOR to the plea with the exculpatory information; (6) Kerry continues to blame the misinformed media and the public and to hold to the notion that there was a burglary in spite of the victim's statement that the defendants DID NOT enter the building ( which is required as an essential element for a burglary to be committed). Kerry's letter (and his bosses' position) never once acknowledges that his offer was erreous and that they erred in the handling of this matter. Frankly, this is the Karl Rove approach, i.e., never admit being wrong. The bottom line is that Kerry's letter is full of it. It is a self-serving piece of garbage. He (and Bonzie) should be gone.
I cannot publically comment as can other defense lawyers about Ms. Roesink and Kerry St. James as they are very vindictive people, however what happened regarding the "pig food" two is the norm and not the exception. Abuse of power is what they are about. Ethically they are to seek justice and not merely convictions. Neither has ever been about justice. Time to go.
The only positive outcome of this matter (in addition to seeing Ms. Roesink and Kerry leave) would be that we patronize Sweet Pea. The owners have been victimized enough by the prosecution.
Wiggins comes from true police mentality. What the store owners wanted is irrelevant to him. Kerry stressed that what the owners said the night of the event was so important and yet when confronted by the store owner Kerry choose to TOTALLY reject his input. This view by Kerry is exactly the same in all cases. He injects his personal view and by doing so abuses his power. Thank GOD both he and Bonnie will be gone in two years assuming she lasts that long in Office.
I went to the commisioners meeting this A.M. Ms. Roesink was indignant in that she accused the press of distorting the "facts" (or not knowing them) and then let the little man (Kerry) recite the police reports. When he was done the co-owner of the Sweet Pea clearly said that the next day he and his co-partner discovered that the store had not been broken into and that only "pig food" had been taken. He and his co-partner did not return a victim witness form thinking that by so doing that it would indicate that they did not wish to prosecute. Ms. Rosink informed him that it was a fault on their part as they should have said so in writing. Mistakenly, Ms. Roesink said that victim rights only applies in assaultive crimes and not proprerty crimes. She should read the Colorado Constitution Article II, section (16)(a). After Kerry was through with his defense of his conduct the co-owner of the Sweet Pea spoke and stated that he called Kerry once he heard what the offer was and told him that he did NOT want these young men criminally prosecuted and go to jail. He stated that community service would be appropriate. He stated that Kerry said that he would make an example out of these young men to which Kerry angerly shouted that what he said was that he would make an example to the community (which he said was the way he saw his job and the "victim" be damned in so many words.) The conduct of Kerry is typical of the way he abuses the power of his office. Recently since being rejected in his bid to become the next District Court Judge (can you imagine his abuse of that power in that position ??) he is worse that ever. Can you imagine that?? Additionally, since taking office some 8 to 10 or more lawyers have left the DA's Office. I suggest that this is due to Ms. Roesink's incompetent "leadership" and Kerry mis-placed authority. Why doesn't Ms. Roesink handle cases? Her predecisors did. Why on earth does she do and why does she need a personal assistant?? It is time for Kerry to go and Bonnie to be recalled. No way will she be relected if she runs again. Too many burned bridges.

Dear TOS,
That makes it second degree trespassing a class two misdemeanor. Intent is irrelevant. Know the law, it won't hurt. So what if there are items of value. If you take anything it is theft of the item and nothing more.
Sorry but you and your paralegal buddy need to go to the Colorado Criminal Code (it is at he local library).

Story ripe for the picking
