Case Information:

Antonio Francisco Balta was sentenced on March 21, 2005, in the Florida Broward County Court, Case Number 04004406CF10A. He received 20 years with no parole, and will be deported to Peru when his 20 year sentence is ended. Considering that other fathers who have done exactly the same receive no punishment at all, or just probation, this is a particularly harsh sentence. Now, a 2007 Florida Law HB667, authored by Florida Representative Joe Gibbons, states that no parent can receive more than 5 years in prison for the same circumstance. The Committee to Free Antonio Balta feels that since Mr. Balta has already served five years as a model prisoner, that he should be released to return to Peru now, and save the state of Florida $300,000 to $400,000. Mr. Balta wants to return to his native country of Peru.
