Sarah Palin Watch: E-mail Hacked and Family Photos/Voicemail Stolen – David Kernell Indicted and Pleads NOT Guilty
David Kernell, 20, leaves the federal courthouse Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008 in Knoxville, Tenn. with his attorney Wade Davies, right, after pleading not guilty to hacking the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
David Kernell, self-named “Obamacrat,” has plead NOT GUILTY today into hacking into Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s private e-mail account.
David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn. entered the plea in federal court in Knoxville, the same day prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging him with intentionally accessing Palin’s e-mail account without authorization.
Kernell, an economics student at the University of Tennessee, was brought into court wearing handcuffs and shackles on his ankles.
He was released without posting bond, but the court forbade him from owning a computer and limited his Internet use to checking e-mail and doing class work.
Kernell’s father is longtime state Rep. Mike Kernell of Memphis, chairman of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee. The lawmaker has said he had nothing to do with the hacking incident.
David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville and faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Trial is set for Dec. 16.
If found guilty this LEFT-WING MORON will be a convicted felon and not allowed to vote or hold public office.
Flap hopes he gets the maximum sentence of five years at Club Fed as an example to others who want to frak around with private e-mail accounts.
The Smoking Gun has a copy of the indictment.

Call me cynical. He won’t be convicted because, after all, Sarah Palin is a conservative, hard-working, American values, Christian, gun toting, oil pumping Republican. Which on the Left is translated as dangerous, radical, out-of-touch, narrow-minded Bambi-killing monster. The Dems want a woman president, just not THAT woman.
I voted for her when she ran for Wasilla mayor, I voted for her as governor, and after moving to the Lesser-48, voted for her as Veep. For 2012 the ticket should be Palin-Coulter: You Betcha!
Just call me cynical.
