Yeah, probably. Assuming both had same criminal history before the robbery, the second guy

would probably get a lesser sentence, though would still have to serve time.

Not sure, though, how much I'd reduce it. Maybe 2/3 of what the first guy gets.

Reasoning: Prison is meant as a punishment AND should attempt to rehabilitate inmates. The second guy has been rehabilitated, but still needs to be punished.

The first guy needs to be punished and rehabbed. That deserves a longer sentence.

Sadly, though, our prisons often (almost always) fail at the rehab part of their job.
