The question doesn't necessarily define what you're looking for, but I would say the best answer is that the prosecutor would argue for a "Consecutive Sentence".
The two types of sentencing are "Consecutive" and "Concurrent".
Assuming that the sentence for murder is 20 years (which is made up of course), a Consecutive sentence would mean that the defendant would serve 20 for each murder. So in the double homicide 20 + 20 = 40 years.
In a Concurrent sentence, both sentences would be served concurrently, or at the same time, thus the sentence would only be 20 years (for the same double homicide).
So, clearly, a prosecutor who wants the maximum time served would ask for a consecutive sentence.
