Balloon Boy Dad Cries Sorry; Judge Gives Jail Time

The Colorado man who carried out the balloon boy hoax choked back tears as he apologized for the stunt, before a judge read out his punishment for the hoax.

Richard Heene has been sentenced to 90 days in jail.

I think he needed a little time-out to reflect on his crime.

I am wondering what effect this will have on his kids. It will be a different kind of Christmas gift for them…free from dad for a few months…

So ends the saga of the Balloon Boy!!!
