I don’t think anything would have deterred her. She’s a psychopath. I would not have been surprised in the least if it had come out in the trial that she hired a hitman. The legal system has numerous functions. One of them is deterrence. Another one is rehabilitation. But one function a lot of people don’t like is retribution and simple removal. Removing dangerous people and frauds from the streets makes society safer at the margins. It’s an ugly business but I can’t see a way around it.
