Richard and Mayumi Heene were the parent of “Falcon the Ballon Boy” and were responsible for the national hoax. Now we ask, was their recent sentencing too light?

The dad Richard Heene agreed with his lawyers to plead guilty to felony charges for attempting to influence a public servant, and faces up to six years behind bars, but it is suggested he may serve much less than that.

The mother Mayumi accepted a misdemeanor charge of knowingly filing a false report with emergency services, which can bring up to six months in prison. The most peculiar thing is that they do not face losing custody of their children.
