They consider other things besides the crime in sentencing. A soccer Mom with zero prior offenses who got injured in a car crash and addicted to pain pills and then started buying non-prescription drugs and carried a gun is going to fare a lot better in sentencing than a convicted drug dealer gang member who also spent spent 10 years in prison for attempted murder. I'm assuming Hunter has no prior violent convictions which will help him in sentencing.
