I'd wager that proving intent would be rather hit or miss. And, yes, Jhary, I will concede that that would be an exception. Finally, Bran, rape or murder is rape or murder regardless of the intent. In my opinion they're so very heinous so as to render the motivation, with the exception of the aforementioned reason that Jhary brought up, irrelevant. I'd like to pose a question if I may, though. Could not the murder of a witness with the provable intent to obstruct justice not be two separate crimes?
