Grandad shoulda just let the police handle it, what child molestors get put through in prison is much worse than a broken elbow, from what I've heard. That said, It'd be pretty hard to think rationally if you were actually put in that situation.
At a guess, his lawyer will plead mitigating circumstances - that he wanted intended merely to confront the guy verbally, and had the bat for self defence, then he just lost his cool and lashed out. That'd easily take the 10 years maximum down pretty severely, then plead infirmity and he'll get put in a mimum security wing, or something along the lines of house arrest.
