Because they are sometimes innocent, or because they claim to be. The whole point of sentencing is that it's meant to be unpleasant. So of course people are going to try to appeal it.

What does it mean when a case is reversed and remanded case remanded for resentencing otherwise affirmed?

It looks like the decision of an appeal court. It's too bad that the question is not posed clearly. An appeal court reverses a decision when it changes the decision that is being appealed from. An appeal court affirms a decision when it decides not to change it. A matter before the courts is "remanded" when it is put over to another day. The word "remanded" is particularly used in criminal matters especially where the accused person is in custody. My guess is that the story goes something like this: A person has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term in jail. While he is serving his sentence, his lawyer has launched an appeal both against the conviction and against the sentence, stating that the jail term was too long. The appeal court has rejected the appeal against conviction but has accepted the appeal against sentence. The sentence "is reversed" and the prisoner remanded in custody until the lower court can impose a more appropriate sentence, "resentencing". However, the conviction stands; it is "otherwise affirmed".
