Baker v. State
Annotate this CaseThe State charged Defendant Michael Baker with burglary of a structure used for religious worship with the intent to commit theft, a class B felony in connection with an apparent breaking and entering of a church from which nothing had been removed. Defendant was subsequently convicted of class B burglary. The court of appeals reversed Defendant's conviction, concluding that there was insufficient evidence of Defendant's intent to commit theft within the church. The Supreme Court granted transfer and affirmed the judgment of conviction, holding that a reasonable jury could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant committed breaking and entering of the church with the intent to commit theft.
