> If he knew he would get 20 years per person would he have murdered anywhere near 77 people?

"In for the penny, in for the pound"?

If you get 20 for each, then after the 3rd or 4th you may as well go for as many as you want. Larger penalties don't discourage that sort of event at all.

If you got 20 years for each one would most people even get pass one? Why is if you get 20 years for killing 1, 5, 15, 77, or 3000000 why stop at one?
