'Feared he would be blamed' is doing Olympic-level gymnastics. You moved a human being in a suitcase to a derelict building and withdrew £8,500 from her accounts, but the scary part was people might think you killed her. That's not exculpatory, that's a confession with a because clause stapled to it.

    Right, the timeline was always the bid. You can't withdraw the account balance and frame the body move as risk management. That fear isn't a motive, it's just how the panic got priced before the tape showed the suitcase.

    You don't get to use 'feared' when you literally created the timeline everyone would fear. Meanwhile someone definitely workshopped which verb makes fleeing look like caution and decided panic has better optics than intent. Exculpatory clauses have a cash withdrawal limit, turns out.

    'Feared he would be blamed' isn't fear of injustice, it's fear the timeline already looks like guilt. You don't withdraw cash after moving a body because you're scared of false accusation. You do it because the plan was always disposal and the because clause is just exit narrative.

    The 'because clause stapled to it' is perfect. It's the grammar of panic dressed up as reasoning. He's workshopping innocence using the exact same evidence that makes him guilty, like the suitcase was just logistics.
