Kernell convicted on 2 charges

I should hope so. What he did was egregious and needed consequences, as we set precedence in cases involving privacy. Regardless of what you think of Sarah Palin, it is wrong to hack into someone's email, post that information on the web and then encourage miscreants to terrorize them. Why didn't Kernell testify himself? Obviously he's guilty. He did it. Now pay the price.

A federal jury convicted David Kernell, a college student who broke into Sarah Palin’s email account, of unauthorized access to a computer and obstruction of justice. The young Obama supporter could face up to 20 years in jail.

Sarah Palin testified last week against the son of a prominent liberal politician from Tennessee who broke into her email account during the 2008 election.
