      Well. Someone died. You said the conviction requires no knowledge of motivation. Which of the 5-7 separate and distinct crimes of varying severity do we convict them of, and how do we decide without knowing motivation? (Like, “premeditated”)

          Ah, yeah, that goes a long way towards explaining why you think motivation is irrelevant to criminal punishment.
