Re: criminal trespassing

Criminal trespass is a felony and could come with long jail time (up to 10 yrs.) plus fines. Depending on the circumstances, the sentence could be as light as probation...would be up to the DA's recommendation and the decision of the judge.

Without specifics (what you broke into and what happened there, etc.) it's hard to say more.
