She's not in jail, and that's after she was already busted trying to flee the country while out on bail, yet the refusal to put her behind bars despite having been found guilty while she tries to reduce her jail time is an absurd indication of the corruption of justice allowed by being rich. She can appeal for a sentence reduction from behind bars, just like everyone else who isn't rich.

Meanwhile people who haven't caused people to die, who haven't caused major harm to others, and who haven't been convicted of anything at all are in jail because they can't afford bail.
