Jan 8/10 Larry King Live Balloon Boy Dad Richard Heene Part 1 Exclusive interview on Larry King Live, Richard Heene denies perpetrating a hoax and says he only pleaded guilty to save his family. RUFKM? For your Oscar consideration. Richard Heene begins his jail term on Monday Jan 11 2010. The father behind the balloon-boy incident — Richard Heene — says he only pleaded guilty to save "my family and my wife." Balloon Boy father sentenced to 90 days for hoax Heene, who recently was sentenced to 90 days in jail, told Larry King that the incident was not a hoax and that he pleaded guilty to charges of influencing a public servant to prevent wife Mayumi from being deported to Japan. Balloon boy bill comes due: $42000 for hoax When King asked Heene about son Falcon's comment that it was all done "for a show," Heene prefaced his response by saying the 6-year-old boy only learned to speak English three and a half years ago. Balloon Boy vomits twice on television during questioning He further tried to explain that his son had been asked by a Japanese cameraman to show him how he got into the attic — apparently for the cameraman's own TV program. "That's why Falcon answered [as he did]," Heene said. Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden, however, doesn't buy it and said the evidence is "overwhelming." "I'm shocked he would make such statements," Alderden told King. "There's no doubt in my mind that this thing was a hoax." Jan 8/10 Larry King Live Balloon Boy Dad Richard Heene Part 1

Main Channel: youtube.com Source: bit.ly Full Article: ( Via- www.Cnn.com) A contrite Richard Heene, whose plan for fame went awry after he and his wife falsely reported that their son was drifting over eastern Colorado in a balloon, apologized Wednesday to a judge. "I'm very, very sorry. And I want to apologize to all the rescue workers out there and the people who got involved in the community. That's it," Heene said quietly at his sentencing. His wife, Mayumi, sat quietly and declined to speak. Larimer County Judge Stephen Schapanski, who chose to adhere to a plea agreement, sentenced Richard Heene to 90 days in custody, to begin January 11. Heene can spend the last 60 days of the sentence in a work release program but must return to the jail at night, the judge said. Heene will be on probation for four years and must complete 100 hours of community service each year during that period. Mayumi Heene was sentenced to 20 days in jail -- less than the 60 days sought by prosecutors. The judge said her term would begin after her husband's jail sentence ends, so at least one of them can be with their children during that time. Video Was 'balloon boy' sentence fair?

Parents of balloon boy to plead guilty Nov 13 The Colorado parents accused of planning a hoax involving their 6 year old son and a helium balloon are expected to plead guilty to charges related to the case. 'Balloon Boy' Makes & Tests his own Balloon Carrier To Save Parents Out Of Jail - Nov 13, 2009 - Parents in last month's notorious "balloon boy" case are expected to plead guilty on Friday, the pair's lawyers said. The Larimer County district attorney's office Thursday said Richard Heene has been charged with one count of attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, and Mayumi Heene has been charged with one count of false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor. Richard Heene turned himself in Thursday afternoon and was released on a $5000 personal recognizance bond, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said. Mayumi Heene did not appear with him. The Heenes will appear Friday in Larimer County Court, where they are expected to plead guilty, their attorneys said. The penalty range for the felony is two to six years in prison with a fine of $2000 to $500000. The range for the misdemeanor would be six months in jail with a fine of $50 to $750, the district attorney's office statement said. The Heenes' attorneys said prosecutors have agreed to a sentence of probation with the possibility of up to 90 days in jail for Richard Heene and up to 60 days in jail for his wife.

(CNN) -- Authorities in Colorado have filed charges against the parents in last month's notorious "balloon boy" case, and the pair's lawyers say the two are expected to plead guilty. The Larimer County district attorney's office Thursday said Richard Heene has been charged with one count of attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, and Mayumi Heene has been charged with one count of false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor. The Heenes have agreed to turn themselves in on a personal recognizance bond to be set by a judge, the district attorney's statement said. They will appear Friday in Larimer County Court, where they are expected to plead guilty, their attorneys said. The penalty range for the felony is two to six years in prison with a fine of $2000 to $500000. The range for the misdemeanor would be six months in jail with a fine of $50 to $750, the district attorney's office statement said. The prosecutor has recommended probation, Richard Heene's attorney said. The threat of deportation for Mayumi Heene was a factor in the plea deal negotiation, the attorney's statement said. "Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans," the statement said. "It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children's mother from the ...
