Confused unfair sentencing: grandson was charged for conspiracy to sell meth

My grandson was arrested on a federal drug charge on the same indictment with two other people who are close in age with no prior felony history all faced the same situation however one recieved 58 months one 63 months and my grandson received 151 months. How is that possible when the feds have set guide lines and their points had to have been close?
They were all three charged as co-defendants for conspiracy to sell meth.

Default re: unfair sentencing: grandson was charged for conspiracy to sell meth

I wish to inform you that the sentence of your grandson, firstly, depends upon the charges which were filed against your grandson. In this regard, there may be difference in charges filed against each person. Your grandson may appeal the decision if he has been incorrectly sentenced. He may show necessary evidence along with the fact that other two persons has received lesser sentence for same acts.

How close in age? Is he over 18?

He might not have any felonies on his record but he may have a history of being arrested and getting in trouble.

The other two might have testified against him in exchange for reduced sentences or it could have been something as simple as, he did not show enough outward expression of remorse.

There are numerous possible factors at play. The fact is, however, you can't do anything about it. He must serve his sentence.

There factors I feel you may have left out that could help in your getting accurate answers.

. What are the ages of all defendants?
. Were all tried in adult court?
. Did any of the defendants have plea deals?
. Did all cases go to trial?
. What was role in incident for each defendant?

to name a few
