University of Tennessee student who is the son of a Memphis legislator has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of hacking Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail.

David C. Kernell, 20, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Knoxville for intentionally accessing without authorization the e-mail account of Palin, the governor of Alaska and Sen. John McCain's running mate, according to U.S. Attorney James R. Dedrick.

Dedrick said Kernell, the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, D-Memphis, turned himself in to federal authorities today for arrest.

LOL, the kids old man says he did not ask his son to break into Palins account. Anyone here want to assign odds this POS isn’t involved up to his liberal slime ball neck?

Not that it matters, the little turd will get a slick lawyer, they’ll Judge shop and the little weasel will wind up with 6 months probation (suspended) and 100 hours of communi8ty service which he will do working on the Hussein campaign.

Some of us tried to say when the Grand Jury went home without indicting that day that not all the evidence had been presented and the Grand Jury was not going to indict until all the evidence was presented. Well now we have the evidence presented and an indictment.

Please note: Federal Court.

This is a federal indictment. People go to jail for federal crimes - Martha Stewart.

Congrats to the Freeper who posted info at the start of the Palin e-mail scandal, regarding the trail of evidence that led to this little twat’s name.

Whoever you are - you nailed it!

I ONLY saw this news on Free Republic.

Here’s some advice for you David... Keep your soap on a rope when you’re taking those communal showers.

BTW - I wonder.... If a Republican had been indicted for accessing Barry O’s e-mail account (a much more interesting account than Palins, would the press pay any attention? Or, would it just be the only news item talked about for the next 3 weeks?

Offer him the choice of turning in who put him up to this or spend ten years in pound you in the ass prison. I think the choice is clear.

“Offer him the choice of turning in who put him up to this or spend ten years in pound you in the ass prison. I think the choice is clear.”

If he ends up “taking one for the team”, he’ll sing. Unfortunately, it will be too late for the election.

How could a father let his son take the fall? Disgusting.

The feds will lean on this kid. Be interesting to see if the father gets thrown under the bus, much as he threw the kid under the bus.

It's time we start calling these s*******s what they are: white-collar terrorists. They affect the lives of everyone who uses the internet; not just Palin. Not just the "authority figures". They affect all of us, sometimes millions at a time, depending on the site they target.

It's not a small thing, or harmless fun.

Look at is as if they invade thousands of places of business and cut their telephone cables. The resulting expense to set things right is passed on to all of us, regardless of what the business might be: banks, retail stores, service companies.

We're talking $millions

Serious jail time is certainly expected. I don't care what party he or his daddy belong to.

Or, would it just be the only news item talked about for the next 3 weeks 20 years?

McCain was cleared by the prosecutors of any involvement in the Keating scandal, but the 'Rat committee refused to remove him specifically for political purposes, as we are seeing today. And that was 19 years ago!

Why would she be using Yahoo or any of the free accounts) for personal stuff anyway? You get spammed to death and they're not secure.

I don't use free email for personal stuff. Nor does anyone I know. We use the email we pay for for personal stuff. Better firewalls, better filters, better everything.
