Heading: conviction for burglary

Text: Appellant also asserts that the State did not present sufficient evidence for the jury to convict her of burglary of the high school because it did not establish that she had the requisite intent to commit larceny when she entered the high school. In order for a defendant to be found guilty of burglary, the State must prove that a person 1) entered a building without authority, 2) with the intent to commit larceny or a felony. Dreiman v. State, 825 P.2d 758, 760 (Wyo. 1992). The evidence presented at the trial established that Appellant accompanied the boys to the high school in the van which she knew had been stolen. She was aware of the original plan to steal items from the high school, and she assisted in the formation of that plan by volunteering the information about the money box which was kept in the concession stand. Appellant also knew that the boys had stolen items from inside the junior high school. The evidence was, therefore, sufficient for the jury to infer that she intended to commit larceny upon entering the high school.
