Richard (L) and Mayumi Heene leave Larimer County district court after their sentencing hearing in Fort Collins, Colorado December 23, 2009. The Colorado man who sparked a mass rescue effort and riveted the media with a bogus claim that his son floated away in a helium balloon was sentenced on Wednesday to 90 days in jail, most of that on a work-release basis. But the boy's mother was spared from serving any jail time for her part in the hoax, sentenced instead to 20 days of supervised public service.
