Anybody know this David Kernell guy?

He's the one who hacked Palin's e-mail. And yes the "she's not my type" comment when talking about Bristol Palin should be enough to be in jail for 10 years for just being a douche. I'm shocked his lawyer let him say anything honestly.

Seriously though, the "she's not my type" comment came after the reporter asked him what he thought of Bristol Palin. Ask a stupid question in which the wrong answer could possibly incriminate someone, get a stupid answer.

That said, I am not defending the guy, he certainly deserves some kind of punishment simply for being a bastard. A month or two in jail and/or a crapton of probation should suffice. Anything beyond that is probably unnecessary.

I don't know politics aside this was beyond just a "crap thing to do" he hacked her personal email account and posted it's contents for the world to see. I wonder if he would have really highlighted account information if it was there. What he did could have potentially ruined her on all levels other than just reputation. I really think 5 years (basically if he is a good wife while in jail it'll really be 2.5 years) is just right for this crime... and for ANYONE doing this kind of stunt.

And personally I think he needs an extra kick just for the fact that his friggin Dad is an elected public official on the opposite party. Stupid at this level really does need to be illegal

He probably switched out of engineering because he couldn't hack it. I've seen that numerous times over my 4 years here (one of my suitemates my freshman year didn't even last one semester before flunking out).

At least he is scared to death right now. I would not pursue the hung jury verdicts. 2 years would be good for him. He will be somebody's "*****" when he is in prison. The federal pen is a lot rougher than one may think.

I've heard that the base sentence for this is 15-21 months. Excessive, IMO. Around 3-4 months and a couple years probation is what this guy should get.

Fed has only 1 thing that makes it tougher than state time, you must do 85% of it. That's it. Other than that, its much better time than state.

Evidently he thinks he's pretty smart though.

Anyone know if the jury finished deliberations today??

That depends on what prison, even what section of a particular prison you're in.

For instance the federal pen at Atlanta would be much worse time than say the Tennessee state pen at Turney Center.

Some federal pens are an absolute joke, you can play golf every day, etc.

I posted the possible sentences in post 11 of this thread.

Max could have been 50 years $1,000,000.00 fine.

As it stands now a jury has found Kernell guilty of obstruction of justice and unauthorized access in the breach of a private e-mail.

The obstruction of justice conviction makes Kernell a felon. (Convicted felons lose the right to gun ownership or to vote among other restrictions. If one files for restitution of citizen's rights and keeps a clean record for ten years after the length of the prison sentence, then it is possible to have the those rights restored.)

The case is a mistrial on count one, the charge of identity theft.
(prosecuters may bring that to trial again if they wish.)

The jury found Kernell not guilty on count 2, the charge of wire fraud.

Kernell will wait to find out his sentence.

Prosecutors must first decide whether to pursue a re-trial for that one count of identity theft on which the jury couldn't agree.

The judge has discretion in sentencing, but the maximum possible would be 20 years for obstruction of justice and 1 year for unlawful computer access which the jury knocked down to the other guilty verdict to the misdemeanor version.

So on the two charges on which he has been found guilty, the maximum prison time would be 21 years.

The maximum fine could be $250,000 on the felony.

The maximum fine on the misdemeanor is only $2,500 I think.

The probation time after time served could be a maximum of 8 years of supervised release.
(I think 5 year minimum on the felony but the judge probably has discretion over that also.)

You can be sent back to serve any unserved time or given more time to serve if you violate probation because if you violate then you are guilty of doing something wrong even if it is just contempt of court.
