Chapter Ten: Burglary, Theft and Fraud Offenses

Burglary; A burglary conviction can be either an aggravated felony or a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT) but in both cases, a carefully crafted record of conviction may permit a defense.

Avoiding a one year sentence is by far the most important way to avoid an aggravated felony. Avoiding specifying the intended offense in the ROC (or, if possible specifying one that is clearly not a CIMT, like malicious mischief) is the most important way to preserve a defense against a CIMT.
