Balloon Boy’s Parents to Plead Guilty
In this image rendered from video and released by KMGH-TV in Denver, a hot-air balloon is seen over Colorado, near Fort Collins. A 6-year-old boy climbed into a hot-air balloon aircraft and floated away Thursday, forcing officials to scramble to figure out how to rescue the boy. Larimer County sheriff’s spokeswoman Eloise Campanella says the device, which is shaped like a flying saucer, has the potential to rise to 10,000 feet. (AP Photo/KMGH-TV )
“The Colorado parents who reported their 6-year-old son floated away aboard a helium balloon will plead guilty to some charges in an attempt to keep the family together, the attorney for the boy’s father said Thursday. Richard Heene will plead guilty to attempting to influence a public servant, a felony, his attorney David Lane said.” http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/nov/12/lawyer-colo-balloon-boy-parents-plead-guilty/
What do you think would be the appropriate punishment in this case?
