That is why the death penalty does not deter murderers. That is why. That is exactly why.
If it were tried close to the events and the sentence swiftly carried out, that would work.
But 22 damn years?

In the Dumbbell Murder Case, the basis for the movie Double Indemnity, the murderers were executed ten months after the crime. The case was notable also for the fact that the female murderer's execution was secretly photographed by a New York Daily News reporter who witnessed the murders, and featured on the front page of the paper the next day. The monicker Dumbbell refers to the public appraisal of the murderers, and not the instrument used to kill the victim.
Ten months after garretting her husband.

It’s not intended to be a deterrent. It a punishment.

The DP may or may not deter others...you can’t know that since you aren’t a mind reader. But it WILL deter these two from committing any other murders whether inside prison, or outside. That is...once the DP is carried out.
Even prison itself isn’t a deterrent since major crimes continue to occur.
