Good to see you RJs.
I don't believe any direct motive was presented by the prosecution - although they did assert that Isiah had been in trouble at school for saying that he wanted to stab somebody and carrying a knife at school.
Isiah's team says that's a misleading characterization of the incident and that he simply got in trouble for carrying a pocket knife at school.
I don't believe the defense presented a possible motive for an intruder either. It's extremely hard to imagine why anyone would sneak into a house, stab an 8 year-old 23 times without sexually assaulting her, not rob the home, and flee when confronted by an unarmed 12-year-old.
One thing I had missed previously that worked against Isiah: before describing the intruder as a Hispanic man with long flowing gray hair, he told the 911 dispatcher that the intruder was a black man. Source: http://fox40.com/2015/10/05/attorneys-de...rder-case/
