Burglary Crime Penalties

The existence of prior offenses, the type of theft and circumstances of the burglary can affect the sentencing if found guilty.  There are varying degrees of burglary felony convictions and the laws vary from state to state with Florida having some of the stiffer penalties including:

• First degree felony - maximum life sentence in prison
• Second degree felony - maximum 15 years prison sentence
• Third degree felony - maximum 5 years prison term
