MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE. $50 question. $1 is only there to make sure work is done well. 

Joe, a handyman, finishes a job in Mrs. Smith’s home. Mrs. Smith is absentminded and typically forgets to close or lock all her doors. That night, as Joe was passing through her neighborhood, he sees the back door of Mrs. Smith’s house wide open. He decides he wants to take some of the valuables he had seen while working there. He enters the house quietly, walks around, and realizes that no one is home. Joe walks to Mrs. Smith’s bedroom only to find the bedroom door locked. He breaks the lock, kicks the door open, and goes through Mrs. Smith’s drawers and jewelry box. He steals priceless jewels and family heirlooms totaling up to $25,000. Discuss and analyze this case under the common law of burglary. Again, consider the elements of the crime in light of the facts of the hypothetical.
