Should this guy have received jail time?

There was a guy in Ohio that was sentenced to 29 days in jail after being taped mocking a girl with cerebral palsy. The mom posted on FB and filed a complaint to the DA; the DA then filed charges and dude pled no contest.

Now, mocking a crippled kid is f-d up. What’s even worse is the example he’s setting for the kid. But jailtime in this instance is ridiculous. By posting the video on YT, this guy will be shamed and embarrassed for the rest of his life. And it seemed like the DA reached on the charges and the only reason dude pled was because he probably could not afford to fight it.
