You're right. Motive is circumstantial justification for suspicion. It's more useful in building a case for an arrest warrant than in building a case for conviction where other evidence exists. Motive is very helpful to a prosecutor trying to get a conviction on circumstantial evidence alone, but it isn't at all crucial in a case which includes physical evidence and sworn testimony.
