Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 1 — of this Code does not appear to prohibit such multiple conviction where, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1. of this Code does not appear to prohibit such multiple conviction where
burglary is not included within such other offense, whatever it may be, nor is burglary
a form of conspiracy to commit this other offense nor is burglary defined to prohibit a
designated conduct generally while the other offense is specific, nor is burglary a
continuing course of conduct related to the other offense. Further, the Legislature has a
distinct interest in prohibiting both burglary and whatever other offense the burglar
may have in mind. There is an equally great public interest in the deterrence of rape,

regardless of whether it is committed in or out of a dwelling or other habitable
building, and the crime of burglary. Similarly, it is equally in the public interest to
prevent burglary and thefts.
Therefore, it is not incongruous to convict a person of both burglary and the
offense he came to commit, assuming the facts exist to prove those offenses.
