To be surprised at the sentencing in this case?

This was in the news a short while ago and I haven't seen a thread on it:

12 years and 5 years for killing a man and burying his body?

Insane

I always find it surprising in cases like this that there's no extra for putting families through hell for years.

It must also be terrifying for McKellar's ex who revealed what had happened after he told her that they won't be away for that long.
