I'm not happy, but I'll take it.

I don't get it though. HOW does someone get convicted of 42 counts and only get away with a maximum of 18 months in jail

Vess said after the verdict: "Never would I do anything to hurt one of my animals."

Well apparently you would, because you did. It doesn't mention anything about fines or whether or not she'll be getting the horses back. I doubt it though.
