Jamie Begaye was charged with burglary after being found inside a home in the middle of the night. The home was unoccupied at the time, and the homeowner had left the residence only a few hours before the police arrived. Police responded to a call from a neighbor who reported seeing someone enter the house through an unlocked window. When officers arrived, they found Begaye inside, rummaging through the kitchen drawers. Begaye had no personal items with him and appeared startled when the officers confronted him. He explained that he was looking for food because he was hungry, but had not intended to steal anything. Begaye did not have any items on his person that could be linked to theft, though the officers found several items out of place inside the house. Begaye was arrested and charged with burglary under New Mexico law, which defines burglary as entering a structure with the intent to commit a crime inside, including theft, assault, or vandalism. Begaye argued that his entry was not criminal because he did not intend to commit a theft, but merely sought food out of desperation. Under this New Mexico law, what must the prosecution prove to convict Jamie Begaye of burglary?
