There are a few issues with your argument.

1. If murdering the victim would help a pedo avoid prison then why wouldn't they just murder all of their victims today? The guy in this case already got 15 years in prison, surely he would have wanted to avoid that? I don't think a child rapist is doing some sort of calculation today saying I am not going to kill the kid because 15 years in prison is acceptable, but if I might be in jail for my entire life then I will kill the kid.

2. I don't think a 5 year old knows the difference between 15 years in prison and life in prison so I don't think it would make a difference with the current situation and what I am advocating for.

3. If some family member is trying to avoid life in prison for the uncle, then why wouldn't they also do that for 15 years?
