Cboldt's "definition" uses the term "unlawful entry" in it; it can't be the definition of how to determine if something's an unlawful entry...try again.
Officer J. Bauer of Tinytown P.D. comes through your door yelling, "Police!" -- legal or illegal entry? Let's say you blow him away, or block his entry. In his dying words, he lets you know he was in hot pursuit of the guy with the detonator switch who's ducked into your back mudroom...it was legal entry. Or that your wife had called 911, asking for police to respond (as was the case in this case).
Tell me...unless you're God, how do you know it's an illegal entry?
Remember also, as a side issue, that the case in question dealt with a lawful entry, but the reason it came up is the attempt by the defense to use a jury instruction that dealt with unlawful entry.
