Re: So did the accused admit his guilt?

@AC "An open window, at court, is the difference between breaking and entering (a crime) and entering to dick with you by turn off some of your electric equipment, changing the recording times on your PVR (not a crime) or any other action that doesn't break the law."

Window open or not isn't really relevant, entering someones house/private property uninvited is still trespass, and so is a crime. Even in the US just entering a location without permission can be classed as burglary, even if nothing was taken or no other crime committed, it just has to be shown that you have no valid reason to be there.
