The fact that the poor kid vomited twice when being interviewed makes me want to just slap the crap out of his dad. Forcing a child to lie, when obviously he really did not want to, is just plain evil. It's child abuse. In fact, that should be one of the charges as far as I'm concerned. As to punishment, I think a week in the stocks in the public square would be about right, humiliate the jerk and allow the community to tell him (and the mother I suppose, if she was really in on it from the start as well) what they think of his stunt. Prison and fines, that would be a waste of resources. Stocks are cheaper, just lock him in and let the family or friends (if he has any left now) feed and water him for the week.
