Homicide: Are a Judge's Statements at Sentencing Grounds for Appeal

My question involves criminal law for the state of:Pennsylvania

About a month ago a friend of mine mine was recently found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
She was sentenced earlier this week to 2 to 6 years and 5 years parole.
Going back to the trial, which lasted 8 days. It seemed from the very beginning that she would continuously overrule her attorney. Several other things seemed odd. Myself as well as 2 others had been subpoenaed to testify for the defense. Each of us had witnessed and had been told things that would not be good for the prosecution. The judge did not let us testify. There was also physical evidence which would have really hurt the prosecution. That was not allowed to be shown. Myself as well as others also noticed how the testimony from the prosecution witnesses kept continually changing.
Like I said yesterday she was sentenced to 2 to 6 years and 5 years probation. The judge also made some very outrageous and degrading remarks.
I told her to tell her to tell her attorney she wants to appeal. Was I correct in saying that?
