State v. Sanchez
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Defendant was convicted of criminal trespass for entering a Rite Aid store six months after a police officer ordered Defendant not to be on the premises. Defendant appealed, arguing that the State failed to prove that he violated the criminal trespass statute because the officer was not “authorized” under the meaning of the statute to order Defendant not to enter the Rite Aid. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the evidence was sufficient for the fact-finder to rationally infer, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the officer was authorized by Rite Aid, and within the meaning of the criminal trespass statute, to order Defendant not to enter the Rite Aid store.
