Question Robbery sentence

(Illinois) I have a boyfriend who pled guilty to a robbery along with three other guys my boyfriend got 10 years and another guy got 10 years and another got 8 years and one got probation this is my boyfriends first adult case and the guy who got eight years also his first adult case and the other guy who got ten years this is his second case and his first case as an adult was a burglary is it wrong that my boyfriend got 10 years like him instead of 8 years like the other guy if so is there any way his time could be reduced to 8 years he has been in jail for 2 years now and he has had good behavior and has been even moved to a work camp in the last month

The judge isn't required to sentence each defendant to the same sentence, even when all of them participated in the same crime. The DA could have made different offers, and, the role that each person played in the robbery can also influence the sentence.

I agree with aardvarc on this one. There isn't much that can be done at this point, 2 years later. All appeal issues would have run by now. Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html and http://resources.lawinfo.com/en/index.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.
