Should this mom who beat a sex offender with a baseball bat get jail time for her assault?

Tammy Lee Gibson, who became an Internet hero last year after she beat a convicted child molester with a baseball bat, pled guilty to third-degree assault. She was originally charged with second-degree assault and felony harassment. Gibson will be sentenced on Feb. 27 and could face a sentence of three to eight months in jail. The 40-year-old woman said she attacked William Baldwin after hearing that a registered sex offender had moved into a nearby trailer park. Gibson remembered seeing Baldwin speak to her 10-year-old daughter a year earlier and went to his home, threatening to kill him. She then struck the 7-foot-3 man with an aluminum bat several times. Baldwin was also arrested after the attack for failing to notify police of his new location. He had earlier been convicted of two counts of first-degree child molestation for sexually assaulting two girls when he was a teenager.
