Regardless of their intent, if you break into a home when its more than likely someone is at home AND armed with weapon, or inflict bodily harm, its a home invasion. Why is that a big deal? Lawmakers finally figured out that if someone is not safe in their home, then where can they feel safe. Home invasion has enhanced penalties and more importantly, is a qualifier for felony murder, if that should be outcome.
Kudos to all involved and more importantly : I rather be judged by twelve than carried by six.
