Why would it act as a deterrent? It's only a deterrent if the person about to commit the act possesses reason and rational thought and this act is so far from reasonable that it's incomprehensible. Someone who murders people, especially a child, isn't thinking "when I get caught, I'll do my 20-25 years and be out" and wouldn't commit the act if the thought is "when I get caught, I'll die, eventually after a drawn out appeals process"
Life in a box, probably segregated for his own safety. That's worse punishment imo.

ugh, wtf? So this guy just shows up after three years to kill her ex-husband and daughter? That seems so odd.
