What are you talking about? Motives are always relevant. If we didn't care about motives, "self defense" and insanity would be irrelevant. If we didn't consider motives there would be no such thing as manslaughter. Murder one would be the only charge taking a life would get you. Justice is never cut and dry. Call it a "whole mess" if you like, but motivations are very relevant when determining punishment and hopefully always will be.
