Heene Attorney Statement

I am currently representing Richard and Mayumi Heene on a pending investigation being conducted by the Larimer County, Colorado, Sheriff's Department. I have contacted the Larimer County Sheriff's Department and informed them that in the event that they have probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, the Heene's are more than willing to voluntarily turn themselves in to face any charges which may be filed against them. I have sent law enforcement this message in an effort to avoid the public spectacle and humiliation of having the police publicly arrest two people who are presumed innocent, perhaps even in the presence of their children, when they are absolutely willing to turn themselves in and fully cooperate with law enforcement in this matter. Any public arrest will be deemed merely an effort by law enforcement to aggrandize themselves at the expense of the Heene's who are prepared to turn themselves in upon request.

Because criminal charges may be pending, I have advised the family to not make any statements to anyone about this matter.
