What you didn't quote the first time does change the context of what you did quote. Therefore a partial quote is incorrect.

People are strangely attracted/focused on that "15 years" but we have no idea whether it is relevant or not.
Google search results
"5 year sentence" About 591,000 results (0.08 seconds)
"10 year sentence" About 1,390,000 results (0.28 seconds)
"15 year sentence" About 780,000 results (0.29 seconds)
"20 year sentence" About 941,000 results (0.29 seconds)
"25 year sentence" About 526,000 results (0.62 seconds)
On the curve of these search results I see 15 years under represented.
Do you have an article that documents a the "15 year sentence" being statistically over represented?
