2 sentences

2013The court then cited State v. Hinsa, 976 S.W.2d 69, 73 (Mo.App.1998), for the proposition that when one enters a building and commits a crime, “there is no ambiguity in his purpose for entering, hence there is no basis for submitting trespass in the first degree.” The court reasoned that McNeal was not entitled to a trespass instruction because: Once the door was opened and it was apparent the apartment was empty there could have been no purpose at that point for [McNeal] to enter the apartment. [McNeal’s] defense was that he did not enter the apartment unlawfully because he thought Tracy live
