Re: Suspected Burglary!!!!!!
If there is probable cause to believe you are guilty then you can be prosecuted.
In practice, DAs usually don't prosecute minor crimes unless they think they are likely to win -- in other words, they believe that most jurors who see the evidence would be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt. But this is not a requirement, and prosecutors are allowed to pursue long-shot cases if they genuinely believe in the defendant's guilt.

That is subjective. If the prosecutor thinks he has a strong case, he'll go for it. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
