Yes, I just read John Walsh's No Mercy, and although it's
true crime, he keeps repeating that the "motive" may not make
sense when the person is caught, the motive makes sense to
the person, but may not to anybody else. It may be "he looked
at me wrong." Imagine if that were in a novel, people would
scream "not fair".
