A jury in Tennessee today found David Kernell guilty of two of four charges against him. Kernell was found guilty of computer fraud and obstruction of justice. These two charges could carry a combined maximum penalty of up to 25 years in prison and $500,000 in fines.

The jury deadlocked on the charge of identity theft and he was not found guilty on the charge of wire fraud. Prosecutors have reserved the right to hold a new trial for the deadlocked charge of identity theft.

The judge in the case will determine the sentencing. Expect Karnell to get off with a slap on the hand given his father’s deep political connections in Tennessee.

“That’s 5 years of...”

I can’t recall hearing of any criminal having to serve out a full term.

If he got 5 years, he would likely walk out in two, seeing as he has no priors and allowing for good behavior, etc. But because he the son of a Corruptocrat, I doubt he will serve any real hard time at all.

If he does do any time, it’s likely to be at one of those min-securtiy federal facilities that resemble a military base more than they do an actual prison.

Any word on sentencing?

(And btw, would anyone mind if the son of a GOP politican hacked Messina's account -- since Messina has been accused of using this email while offering government jobs to people in exchange for their not running for office...?)

Cheers!
