most rapist target victims they know and can be connected to, family members, social relationships, romantic relationships, and work relationships, it's it MUCH harder to get away with murdering someone you know, than abusing them. killing them would almost certainly be attributed to the person they know that was motivated to harm them. if Brand killed any of his victims he targeted through his work connections, he would have been caught very very quickly. he's avoided jail for such a long time because abuse and rape carry enough stigma and trauma and the pressure of not being the person who's causing problem in your profession when you aren't in a position of power makes it hard for victims to report and pursue legal charges. killing these women wouldn't have solved any problem. over 90% of rape and sexual abuse is from someone that woman knows well. this is the tactic of rapist and abusers, to get into someone's life, and abuse them with the pressure of being their boss or romantic partner, or otherwise connected to them in a way that stops them from reporting that adds more stigma or trauma to stop them from talking, killing them might stop them from talking, but it goes from an unreported crime to a crime that will likely make headlines and draw significant attention and that 90% are known to the victim also means police won't have a hard time linking the victim to the murderer, so your suggestion that LONGER JAIL TIME for rapists will lead to every rapist becoming a murder, doesn't make sense. the pattern of abuse, and the outcomes of said abuse don't line up at all with murder being a logical solution to avoiding longer jail times.
