“The first is the legal or element test. The lesser offense must be composed solely of some but not all elements of the greater crime. The second, “factual” test is an ad hoc determination whether there is a factual basis in the record for submitting the included offense to the jury (emphasis in original).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Any person, having the intent to commit a felony, assault or theft therein, who, having no right, license or privilege to do so, enters an occupied structure or area enclosed in such a manner as to provide a place for the keeping of valuable property secure from theft or criminal mischief, such occupied structure or place not being open to the public, or who remains therein after it is closed to the public or after the person’s right, license or privilege to be there has expired, or any person having such an intent who breaks an occupied structure or other place where anything of value is kept, commits burglary.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Ultimately, ... the determinative question under the legal test is whether the greater offense cannot be committed without committing the lesser offense, (citations omitted) If the greater offense cannot be committed without committing the lesser offense, the lesser offense is a legally included offense. On the con trary, if the greater offense can be committed without committing the lesser offense, the lesser offense is not legally an included offense.”
