Explanation using Example
Example 1:
A is accused of murdering B. During the investigation, it is found that A had a significant financial debt and B had recently threatened to expose A's financial troubles unless A repaid the debt. The fact that A was under financial stress and B's threat to expose A's financial situation can be considered as a motive for the murder. Additionally, if A had purchased a weapon similar to the one used in the murder shortly before the crime, this preparation is also relevant to the case.
Example 2:
A is on trial for the theft of a valuable necklace from B's house. During the trial, it is revealed that A had been seen loitering around B's house several times in the days leading up to the theft. This conduct of A, which shows preparation for the theft, is relevant. Furthermore, after the theft, A was found in possession of a large sum of money, which he could not account for. This subsequent conduct of A, which suggests he benefited from the theft, is also relevant to the case.
