Minnesota Statutes

Felony:
"Assault" is:
(1) an act done with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or
(2) the intentional infliction of or attempt to inflict bodily harm upon another.
Misdemeanor:
Burglary: “Whoever enters a building without consent and with intent to commit a crime, or enters a building without consent and commits a crime while in the building, either directly or as an accomplice, commits burglary…”

The assault crime is similar because they both state that assault is the intent of putting one in bodily harm. The books definition isn’t just the intent but putting one in fear of being assaulted. The burglary crime in the book and Minnesota’s statute are the same because they both are the intent to commit a crime when breaking and entering; however, Minnesota’s statute is more specific in stating that if you are directly or indirectly involved, you are guilty of burglary. Over all Minnesota’s statutes are more specific due to it being geared toward the running the law of the state.
