PENNSYLVANIA BURGLARY CONVICTION CANNOT SERVE AS A PREDICATE FELONY IN NEW YORK.

The Second Department determined a Pennsylvania burglary conviction could not serve as a predicate felony in New York because of the absence of the “knowingly” element:

… [T]here is no element in the Pennsylvania statute comparable to the element in the analogous New York statute that an intruder “knowingly” enter or remain unlawfully in the premises (Penal Law § 140.20). The absence of this scienter requirement from the Pennsylvania burglary statute renders improper the use of the Pennsylvania burglary conviction as the basis of the defendant’s predicate felony adjudication … . People v Flores, 2016 NY Slip Op 06723, 2nd Dept 10-12-16
