OK. My original question has been answered. The answer is NO. No MOTIVE was ever officially determined/proven.

My guess is that he will kill himself in jail before he's executed. He just strikes me as that type of guy. He has no remorse for what he did. Yet he's not crazy at all. At least he's honest.

WTF are you talking about... "offically determined/proven"???

If you don't see what the motive was, or at least what a large part of it was, no amount of offical designation and pomp and circumstance will make you see it.

Who is supposed to "officially prove" a motive, anyway? Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a motive at all to prove a crime was committed-- and for good reason.

And the speculation continues just as he was convicted on speculation. I don't doubt that he did it (again just my speculation) but he was convicted before he ever went to trial. Funny how OJ got off when confronted with heaps of evidence and this guy gets the chair on speculation.

Funny how people claim they think he really did it, yet question why jurors (who actually heard all of the testimony and saw all of the evidence) could convict someone just based on "speculation".

What you and everyone else here is doing is "speculation". The jury actually had all of the evidence and facts to consider.
