"Nothing unethical was done it him, he was convicted and sentenced accordingly" Dumbfounded by your words, a 800% increase from the average sentence is, I thin

  But there are generally ranges someone can be convicted in, for certain crimes 1 to 5 years, 5 to 10, etc. That he got an 800% increase in sentence doesn't matter, as long as the conviction fell within the ranges set up by the law. You can call a judge biased, but if he feels it's a correct sentence, then you're out of luck. You do know that is why we have judges right? In part to make judgement calls on sentences.

    Well then I would love if you got a 3 year sentence for jaywalking.

  That's not how sentencing works. Unless the judge is up against a mandatory minimum, s/he has ranges to work within. Intent and attitude (lack of remorse, etc.) absolutely factor into that sentence.
