Well idk if shes trying to say cause he was at the window because he would always tell her he’s at the window but i don’t know if he came in without her saying it even if she did it would be hard to prove
It sounds like your uncle may have serious legal concerns. If the burglary charge hinges on whether he entered without permission, that fact could make a difference in his case. Since he’s also facing domestic violence and parole violation charges, a defense lawyer is crucial.
Would you like help connecting with a criminal defense attorney who can review the case?
Yes our main concern is the burglary charge

California's "Three Strikes Law" makes this case extremely serious, especially with a prior record and multiple charges. Would you like help connecting with a local criminal defense attorney to assist with your uncle's case?
He has one
Case Rating: *
Since your uncle already has a criminal defense attorney, it’s essential that he works closely with them to focus on the burglary charge and its details, especially considering the potential impact of California's "Three Strikes Law." If you have specific questions about the process, let me know.
All his prior arrests are domestic violence and firearm possession
Case Rating: *
Prior arrests for domestic violence and firearm possession, combined with the current charges, could heavily impact how his case is handled under California's "Three Strikes Law." His criminal defense attorney should address the burglary charge carefully. If you have questions about how prior convictions influence sentencing, feel free to ask.
This is what she text him after she call the cops “you better hide now mother fucked. I am on the way to the hospital you punk ass bitch. Who is gonna stay with my mom?” Her mom is currently in the hospital

The text from the ex-girlfriend could be relevant to your uncle's defense, especially if it suggests a lack of clarity about the burglary or domestic violence allegations. His attorney may use this as part of their strategy. If you want more details on how texts can factor into a defense, let me know.
He could argue that she wasn’t scared since they both left the scene and she text him that with aggressive words right?
Case Rating: *
Yes, your uncle's attorney could argue that the ex-girlfriend's aggressive text suggests she wasn’t in fear, which might weaken the domestic violence or burglary charges. However, other evidence and circumstances will also play a significant role. His lawyer should analyze this text carefully as part of the defense.
