Wheelchair ridden grandpa facing up to 10 years jail for beating pedo?

[Rath]

The phrase 'Up to x years in prison' is used here to make it sound like he's actually going to get 10 years in prison. Which he isn't. That's the maximum sentence for felony assault and in this case there were both mitigating circumstances and the assault was fairly minor.

He might not even get prison at all.
