We know Zimmerman got his ass kicked. What we don't know is did it start out with him confronting Trayvon, or did Trayvon come up to Zimmerman after the extended chase. We do know that whatever happened, Zimmerman decided to shoot his way out of it. So the motive to try to figure out what happened was "Why did Trayvon come back to Zimmerman if he managed to get away?" That is where motive is important.

I would suggest that motive is still important, since we don't know if Zimmerman is telling the truth. Therefore we need a reason why Trayvon would come back to beat his ass. Zimmerman lost Trayvon, so to suggest that Trayvon went back with no motive whatsoever is a bit unbelievable.
