ROCCO CIPPARONE JR. APPEARS ON FOX 29 AS EXPERT CONSULTANT REGARDING HEENE "BALLOON BOY" HOAX
10-18-2009: Again recognized for his experience and expertise as a criminal
defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, Rocco Cipparone was consulted by Fox 29 Philadelphia's reporter Julie Kim
for analysis of potential criminal charges that the parents of "Balloon Boy" could face related to the alleged hoax
by the Heene family in Colorado that their child was in danger being in a home made hot air balloon. Instead, the
child was hidden in the home. The hoax consumed substantial law enforcement resources and even briefly shut down Denver
airport. As Mr. Cipparone pointed out in his analysis, the Heine parents could face criminal prosecution for lying to
law enforcement officers, including federal charges which carry the stigma of a federal felony, potential jail term and other
penalties.
