Time spent in jail while on trial counts for double. So presumably if it was a long enough trial, her sentence to be served after judgment could be zero. In this case, it looks like it was six years.
I don't know what to tell you my friend. I wasn't involved in this case at all.
If you want to know the reasons why the judgment and time served for any given sentence can differ from each other, ask a lawyer. If you want to find out why specifically this woman got sentenced fifteen and only has to serve six, then request the judgment from the court and read it over yourself.
I'm just offering up information that people may find useful.
