Compared to the statement "sentences for men are on average 63 percent longer than sentences for women", I think one number is a bit bigger than the other.

There seems to exist three major influences that "dictate" the outcome of a case. Gender and race of the accused, and the blood sugar level on the judge and jury. If you build a prediction model where only those variables are known then you would likely get quite scary accurate results.
