This is in Washingtion State. I am writing on behalf of a good friend of mine, who is one of the most passive guys I know. He has been in jail for the past three months awaiting his trial for residential burglary. Here are the details surrounding his arrest: He was visiting an old friend who lives in a mobile home park. My friend got very intoxicated and went to his car for something, and in his drunken stupor made a mistake and went to the trailer next door to his friend's house. Apparently, it was around 2 am, and my friend was banging on the wrong trailer, who is owned by a grouchy old lady. Long story short, he must have woke this lady up and when she opened the door he probably barged in and was acting beligerent or stupid or something. He can't remember because he blacked out and he wound up being taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. Anyway, the lady must have called the police and my friend was taken from the hospital straight to jail where he is currently being charged with residential burglary. They want him to take a plea bargain of 15 months or they say they will add some sexual motivation charge to it. I can't believe they are charging him with anything other than criminal trespassing and public intoxication. I'm sure his friend (in the trailer next door) explained to the police that he was visiting her and must have went to the wrong trailer by mistake because he was so intoxicated. Does anyone think he could actually get convicted of this considering the circumstances?
