Indictment For Palin Email Hacker

David Kernell, the now infamous 20-year-old hacker who got access into Sarah Palin’s private email account, has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Kernell is the son of the Democratic chairperson of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee.

The A.P. reports:

Kernell, an economics major at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release.

What kind of emails is David Kernell sending around that made him think that a 44-year old woman would have anything newsworthy in her email account? She’s a grandmother. Did he really think that Palin would use email to send around scandalous photos?

Five years and $250,000 seems like the right price to pay for such rank stupidity.
