Colorado, Oct 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) David Lane is the lawyer for the Heene family. He says that he expects the Heene family to be formally charged.

“These folks are absolutely willing to turn themselves in, so I don’t want to see a prep walk done for media consumption,” lawyer David Lane said on the “Today” show on NBC as he made the rounds on the morning talk shows.

The lawyer for Richard Heene, David Lane expects charges will be brought against his client in the next day as investigators analyze e-mails that show Heene discussing the hoax months ago with an associate, according to The Associated Press.

Sheriff calls balloon boy a “hoax,” he specifies criminal charges against the Heenes, “I’ve reached out to Law Enforcement in Larimer County and said these folks are willing to turn themselves in the minute you give me a phone call,” lawyer David Lane said on NBC’s Today show.

Richard Heene is looking at possible felony charges, investigators say that they want to question an associate of Richard Heene after e-mails surfaced showing the two had discussed a balloon hoax months ago as part of a public relations campaign for the reality show.

Thomas, a self-described researcher, was the other link in the Heene and the reality TV series story. He sold his story to the website Gawker.com and also provided the Web site with e-mail exchanges between him and Heene. Thomas said the show would feature Heene as a mad scientist who carries out various scientific experiments.

“This will be the most significant UFO-related news event to take place since the Roswell Crash of 1947, and the result will be a dramatic increase in local and national awareness about The Heene Family, our Reality Series, as well as the UFO Phenomenon in general,” according to a copy of the show’s proposal provided to the site by Thomas.
