The trespassing charges were dropped, but even if they weren't it's a bit of a stretch to say walking into an open closet and plugging in a laptop is breaking into a wiring cabinet. I can understand the argument for trespassing though. The charges that actually went forward were erroneous and that's the current law that mattered.
