BURGLARY - Intent

Forming intent to commit a crime after an illegal entry is burglary. Affirmed.

The court examined the text of the statute and the legislative history in reaching its conclusion, and reversed a contrary decision of the Court of Appeals.

DUII - Statutory counterparts

Only an out-of-state offense with "virtually identical elements" to an Oregon DUII is a "statutory counterpart" for purposes of DUII sentencing. Reversed.

The court examined the text of the statute and the legislative history and concluded that Kansas and Colorado convictions were not statutory counterparts. It reversed a contrary decision of the Court of Appeals.
