What is it called when some one is accused of something is facing 20 years but find a case of someone with the same crime but get 5 years?

If I understand the question you want to know why someone can be convicted of a crime and get a sentence of 20 years while another person convicted of the same crime only gets 5 years. If that is the case there were most likely mitigating circumstances. Judges also have a modicum of discretion when deciding sentencing while one person may receive the max sentence the other received a more lenient sentence. If 20 years is an unusually harsh sentence for the crime there is always a possibility to appeal the conviction or the sentence.
