I think main difference is that some people get more sympathy from jury and better chances to get away with crime. In continental law judge tends to be more fair.
For example black receive higher sentences for drug related crimes. Women commits 30% of all murders but are 10 times less likely to be convicted.
Also in continental law sentences are shorter and more reasonable; 8 years for murder etc.
EDIT: we actually have sentences for murder 10 years to lifetime. It depends on case.
