Comments will be brief, will be issuing a written order, because this is a legal analysis.

Acknowledging the pain of the victim's family. I'm guessing that means he's not going to give a sentence at the top end of the range
Not basing my sentence on public opinion. Just applying the law to the specific facts
Here it is
Second Degree Murder: 270 months. 22.5 years.
Based on abuse of position of trust and authority and the cruelty of the act.

The end. That's a significant enhancement for a typical 2d Degree murder. 10 years more.
As @Popehat notes, he won't serve all 22.5 years; based on reports I've seen, the typical rule in Minnesota is inmates serve 2/3 of their sentence in custody, 1/3 on post-release supervision. But I don't know that personally, so look it up
