At common law, a “burglary” must happen at night.

“At common law, a “burglary” must happen at night.”

When you reference “common law” is that for Florida or all of the states?

For example, in Louisiana, laws are, more or less, based upon “Napoleonic” law. Not so in other states.

I like to learn.

Perhaps. . .but not all jurisdictions adhere to that standard and burglary is burglary no matter time of day.
