Balloon Boy Falcon Heene with his dad Richard Heene
Anyone with just a tiny bit of common sense would have known that there wasn’t enough helium in that silver UFO balloon to lift a CAT let alone a 6-year-old little boy.
Story here and below.
The Colorado parents in the well-publicized “balloon boy” case will plead guilty to offenses for creating a hoax that their son had flown away in a large balloon.
Richard and Mayumi Heene are to plead Friday morning in Larimer County Court, according to a statement issued by Richard Heene’s attorney.
Mayumi Heene is expected to plead guilty to an offense of false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor of the lowest level, according to the attorney.
Richard Heene is expected to plead guilty to a felony offense of attempting to influence a public servant.
Though the Heenes could receive jail time for the charges, the prosecutor has recommended probation, Richard Heene’s attorney said.
