The entire concept of the law is for people to air their grievances in court, instead of airing out each other's skulls. Do you think motivation is irrelevant to crime?

    The prosecution is airing its grievances, not the defence. And motivation matters in some circumstances but this this isn't one of them. Unless you want to implement a fair principle for everyone, which I think would do more harm than good.

    Motivation absolutely matters in all circumstances.

    Uhuh. Well, you're very confident, yet I'm for some reason unconvinced by your detailed argument...
