    Breaking and entering? In Suwanee, GA
    Hello all, me and 2 other of my friends were bored at my house one day and we're curious. One of my friends used to live in a house down the street from me and he recently abandoned it, leaving nothing but garbage. We were curious enough to go back in there and check it out. He remembered that the garage door was unlockable so we went through there and the door connecting to the house was locked so we pushed it hardly and it opened, not breaking anything. So we explored the house and left. Couple of days ago, he is telling us that the land lord is accusing us of Breaking and entering, said he is going to charge us for "breaking" the door and said I and my cousin are going to jail... What about him and can we really get charged with breaking and entering since it has been abandoned for about a month now? He claims that there has been a case that has been open and such but how does that work? Even if they did open a case and accused me of being there, how would they know? I didn't leave any scent or trail leading to me? Can someone help me out ASAP? I don't know rights to this but what can I do?

    Hire a lawyer... you need one.

    All they need is one person to name everyone else in exchange for a slight break and you are hung.

    Neither of you had any legal right to be there, someone else owned it... and the landlord can make that accusation... you won't be able to prove otherwise.

    You broke in... it wasn't your place...

    I agree with smoothy.

    The place is owned by someone else. You had no rights to be there. You forced your way in. Yes it was breaking and entering.

    On the other hand, they might have trouble proving you were in there. Even if they have fingerprint evidence, it will be hard to prove when they were made. So. In the meantime, you do nothing. If you are called in, even for questioning, you state that you will say nothing without an attorney.
