    Summed up here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_balloon_boy

    Basically: He got a 30-day jail term on Jan. 11, delayed for two weeks so he can spend the holidays with his family. Heene to serve the remaining 60 days of his jail term under work release, meaning he can work during the day but spend his nights in jail.

    The 4 year probation will be revoked if they are found to be profiting from any book, TV, movie or other deals related to the stunt.
    The wife, Mayumi Heene to serve 20 days in jail after her husband completes his sentence. Her time served is flexible — she can report to jail on 10 weekends, for example.

    And I believe they have to pay $48,000 in costs.

    Well, that popped their balloon! At least it'll be a lesson for others who are thinking of staging similar stunts.
