Well, you are tiresome,there are crimes that require intent and some that don't. There are strict liability crimes for example. So motive is not always necessary element. Please review your criminal law notes from your MailU institution.

Right, but "intent" is not the same as "motive," now is it?

There are strict liability crimes for example.

Which goes against your claim that you need to prove motive before you can prove a crime, don't you think?

So motive is not always necessary element.

But you just claimed that it was.

So, you voted for motives before you voted against them. Gotcha.

And trust me, I almost certainly went to a better law school than you.
