Got to love it. Thirty and twenty days in the clink for being full of hot air.
> Richard Heene was sentenced to 90 days in jail, including 60 days of work release that will let him pursue his job as a construction contractor while serving his time. His wife, Mayumi, was sentenced to 20 days in jail.....
Way, way over the top. This in addition to a $42,000 fine. Huge over-reaction to a dumb@ss stunt.
Gaol time + fine + probation. I wonder how much AlGore will get when they finally figure out GLOBAL WARMING IS A SCAM?
They should have gotten six months for the mother and two years for the Father. They clearly wasted big time resources that ended up being a waste of time and money. They are not going to learn anything with 20 days and 90 days...What is that????
I’m good with this sentence. Very good, in fact. These people aren’t hardened criminals, just fame-seeking morons. The sentence takes away the things they most sought (celebrity and a means to profit off the stunt), and forces them to pay restitution for the public cost of their actions. The family stays together (the wife was facing deportation if convicted of a felony), and mom and dad will have the opportunity to gain a little wisdom with each and every garnisheed paycheck.
A good day, all in all, I’d say. :-)
