“If you find beyond a reasonable doubt that this defendant did commit the crime of burglary then you would be authorized to find the defendant guilty. If you have a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offense of burglary it would be your duty to give him the benefit of the doubt and find him not guilty. Should you find the defendant not guilty of the crime of burglary, you would be authorized to consider under the evidence whether or not he did, at said time and place, commit the lesser offense of criminal trespass.)”
