Jackson recently graduated high school and decided to spend his summer before college hiking the Appalachian Trail. Three weeks into his hike there was a torrential downpour in a very rural and desolate area of North Carolina. He tried to take shelter in his tent but there was so much mud and rain that it afforded him little protection from the elements. He decided to seek out a more stable structure and eventually happened upon an old RV that was seemingly abandoned. The doors were locked but he was able to pick the lock and enter. Jackson found enough canned food to make himself a warm dinner and settled in for the night. The next morning, he took with him all of the dry clothes and food he could find in the RV and headed off to continue down the trail. Is Jackson guilty of burglary?
a. Yes, he knowingly took items that did not belong to him without permission. b. Yes, he willfully entered into the dwelling of another and took items that did not belong to him. c. No, when he entered he did not intend to take the items in the RV. d. No, because there was chronological concurrence.
