According to the court case that happened on Friday 11/-13, the judge ruled that Mayumi Heene a Japanese citizen, will not be faced with deportation, even though she as been charged with a misdemeanor(false reporting to authorities).
* Do you think she should be deported or do you think one/both parents should serve some jail time, for faking this whole situation?
Balloon Boy Parents -- We Were Full of Hot Air
Posted Nov 12th 2009 12:38AM by TMZ Staff
Those awful Balloon Boy parents are finally going to fess up to what we've all suspected for weeks -- that they're guilty of engineering the entire hoax.
Richard Heene's attorney issued a statement explaining how Richard will plead guilty Friday morning to an offense of attempting to influence a public servant -- a felony. His wife, Mayumi, will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities -- a misdemeanor.
The Heenes could receive jail time for the charges stemming from the infamous Oct. 15 incident, but Richard's attorney claims the prosecutor has only recommended probation.
The attorney also claims the couple agreed to the deal because Mayumi was afraid of being deported. The lawyer explained that she's currently a Japanese citizen and "any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans."
Why deport her when we don't deport thousands of illegal Mexican's who commit crimes????
I also think they should pay for all the time and money spent searching for their son.
I think deporting her and serving jail time, might be a little serve but I do think she should pay some heavy fines and be sentenced to some Community Service.
