We do this with plenty of crimes. Murdering your spouse to collect their life insurance policy is punished harsher than murdering your spouse after you come home to find them having an affair. Motivations and intent matter.
- worik 5y agoIt is the same crime. Motivation does not count to guilt. Intent does, but intent is different from motivation. Do I need to explain that?
- slg 5y agoThat was one example of the law no acting based purely on result. If you want specifically an example of motivation what about killing in self defense? That is a motivation and not an intent. It can also be what decides guilt or innocence.
