IMO it's borderline to many variables to say for sure but it does seem a little TOO coincidental that a black female gets the max sentence and a white male gets just 6 years...but this does underline a major issue in our justice system. Far too much leeway on the punishments for the exact same crime.
Sorry but because the family is feeling sorry for you or the judge doesn't feel you have remoarse should factor exactly nill on what your sentence is. We really need standardized sentencing.
One thing I'd like to know how does this judge's record break down? Does she typically give minority defendants harsher sentances? Does the other job go easy on everybody? etc...
