Heading: Is the proof in this case sufficient to support a conviction for aggravated burglary?

Text: Defendant's sole challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support her conviction for aggravated burglary is that because she never committed theft, she did not have the requisite intent to commit a felony, theft or assault when she entered into the East Memphis home. Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-14-402 . A person commits aggravated burglary when she (1) enters a habitation, defined as any structure designed or adapted for the overnight accommodation of persons; (2) without the effective consent of the property owner; and (3) with intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault. Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 39-14-401 to -403. As we have already concluded that sufficient evidence supports the jury's verdict finding Defendant guilty of theft, Defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support her aggravated burglary conviction is without merit.
