Sarah Palin testified Friday against a 22-year-old man accused of hacking into her e-mail account, saying later it's up to the judge to decide whether he should serve prison time if convicted.
Palin testified that the hacking compromised one of the main ways she communicated with her family back in Alaska as she campaigned in 2008 as the Republican vice presidential candidate. Outside the courthouse, when asked whether she thought community service was punishment enough rather than prison, she said, "That's up to the judge."
Former University of Tennessee student David Kernell faces up to 50 years in federal prison if convicted of identity theft, mail fraud and two other felony charges. His lawyer has called the case a prank, not a crime.

His lawyer has called the case a prank, not a crime.

A prank! Of course!
That’s like Clinton saying his mistakes were “snafus”.
A prank. What was it, hell week?
50 years seems a bit steep. 2 years oughta do it.
A prank..yeah that makes sense..Plastering people’s phone numbers so they can be harassed and threatened, yeah that is some kind of prank isn’t it. I wonder how liberals would have felt if someone had posted Michelle Obama’s phone number..have people call her and say “We are outside your house right now.” The media hardly talks about the fact that this guy is a liberal whose father is a big flaming lib..we all know why he did this, he was told to, look at him, he is a moron, no way did he come up with this on his own
And Sandy Burglar was being sloppy when he stole classified documents from the archives.
If I put a bag of flaming dog poop on my neighbor’s porch, it’s a prank. If it burns the house down with everybody inside it, it’s Arson/Murder.
2 days oughta do it.
And all those Leftist damaging protests are just pranks like breaking windows and beating up people ...

Oliver Wendall Holmes couldn’t have said it better.
It was done with malicious intent — it was a crime, not a prank.
G. Gordon Liddy declares Watergate to be just a prank. "We broke in to put buckets of water on their doors and turn their file drawers upside down."
The perp will enjoy being a prison wife.
Not sure what you mean...you think no jail time for this hack?
1. This article is from NPR (National Progressives Radio)
2. The kid admitted in exchanges on the web that he did it to "get the goods" on Palin
3. He described her in his website admin notes as a C___ just like the Netroots t-shirts. I am confident he did this trying to impress them, he is a hacker want-to-be.
4. He moched Palin in his notes saying that she "went to Church" and "had all those children"
5. He stated in his notes how much he liked Obama, almost as much as teletubbies.
6. There are reports that the kid has stability problems, that is very possible. I have seen evidence of his extreme immaturity.
The hacking was another compromising of the credibility of Palin by the MSM.
They spent many news cycles describing the hacked emails, asking whether it was appropriate for Palin to conduct Alaska business using a private Yahoo email account, wondering whether compromising messages, would be found, commenting on how smart it was to have such a poor password on her email account, yada, yada, yada...
