I don't know much about other states, but in my experience judges usually follow along the lines of the sentences that are recommended to them. This case doesn't seem any different. The judge followed the prosecution's recommendation of 20 years and probably tacked on the extra 5 because he wasted everybody's time going to trial.
Instead of raving about personal vendettas and castration (seriously, read the Bill of Rights) people should try and understand better how the criminal justice system works in their state.
