Answer 2

You can appeal a sentence from the trial court level to the state appellate court -- and the case may work its way all the way up to the state supreme court.

But you would need a legal basis for requesting the modification -- not a factual basis. In other words, the request for modification would need to be based on a claim that the trial court judge mis-applied the relevant laws -- not that this defendant was a particular good or bad person and thus deserved a different sentence based on those facts.
