What sort of differing punishments for crimes were the higher and lower classes given during the classical Roman period?

There were no differing punishments for crime as far as citizens were concerned, and we can really only begin to speak of "class," even today a poorly-defined concept, in the Roman world in the context of the citizen body, non-citizen freemen and slaves simply don't fit in the same way. Any Roman citizen would be punished for a particular crime the same way, regardless of social class or wealth.
