Hey folks,
That's right. The Morons who attempted to fool the Country with their Son being taken up and away by a big Weather Balloon. Truth is, the whole thing was a hoax. I had a feeling it was as soon as I saw it taking place. As we learned more about who these people were, I KNEW it was.I even said someone needs to go to jail.Well, i do not think that they will be going to Jail, most likely because of a plea bargain, but they have pleaded Guilty. According to the AP - Colorado parents plead guilty in balloon boy saga By P. SOLOMON BANDA, Associated Press Writer – Fri Nov 13, 5:28 pm ET
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A Colorado couple who reported their son was aboard a runaway balloon could land in jail after pleading guilty Friday to charges they made up the story to generate publicity for a possible reality TV show.
Richard Heene appeared before a Larimer County District Court judge first, pleading guilty to a felony count of falsely influencing the sheriff who led the rescue effort during the 50-mile balloon chase that captivated a global television audience Oct. 15.
Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of knowingly filing a false report with emergency services. Prosecutors said she had a lower level of culpability and cooperated with authorities, telling investigators the balloon launch was a publicity stunt two weeks in the making.
The Heenes are amateur storm chasers and had twice appeared on ABC's "Wife Swap." Richard Heene's business associates said he was trying to pitch a TV series based on science, and the couple had a tentative deal in the works with RDF USA, which produces "Wife Swap."
RDF has said it scrapped the plans after the balloon flight.
Even as the Heenes entered their guilty pleas, their attorneys' comments in court set off speculation of talk show appearances or other deals.
Judge Stephen Schapanski agreed to the attorneys' request that the couple be allowed to travel to New York and California to explore "employment opportunities." David Lane, Richard Heene's lawyer, declined to elaborate as he left the courtroom, and Heene waved off questions.
At least one New York-based production company ruled out a Heene venture.
Anyone that gives these Morons a show is asking for Others to follow in their footsteps. "Oh, so if we do this outrageous thing, maybe we will get a TV Show out of it." Anyone that DOES give them a show, should be BOYCOTTED by EVERYONE. just to prove a point. These Morons that used their Kids as pawns to get on TV, are scum and need to crawl back under whatever rock they came out from under.
"It's just too poisonous," said Irad Eyal, vice president of development at True Entertainment. "I don't think anyone is going to want to meet with a man who shamed his family and children that way. In reality TV, there's a definite line you don't cross, and that's tormenting children."
Lane said the couple would have no public comment at least until sentencing, set for Dec. 23.
Under terms of the plea agreements, {I knew it} Richard Heene faces up to 90 days in jail, probation and a fine. Mayumi Heene could get 60 days, likely to be served in a work-release program, and probation.
I doubt he will see the inside of a jail. But that would be nice. The rest of this just goes on to rehash the whole stupid incident . You know the story. Finally Justice will be served in this case and if they EVER do anything this idiotic again, the kids should be removed. Jail should be mandatory, and they should NEVER be seen again. Period.
