Palin email hacker trial delayed by judge
David Kernell, the 20-year-old University of Tennessee student indicted for allegedly accessing Governer Palin’s email illegally, has been given a bit more time to enjoy fresh air before things potentially heat up. The son of Tennessee state Rep. Mike Kernell will not stand trial May 2009 when he is now scheduled to face one count of accessing a computer without authorization, a crime that carries up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The reason for the delay according to a filing from the U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice:
Because of the nature of this case, significant forensic evaluation is required [and] the parties agree that … an extension should be granted to allow counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation.
Kernell and his lawyers are hardly upset by the judge’s decision to delay the trial of course, as it will give them plenty more time to attempt to have the case thrown out. Unlikely as it may seem, crazier things have happened. Barring some extraordinary legal eagling, the Kernall trial will begin on May 19, 2009.
Backbeat: There is nothing more to discuss. You disagree with me that he stated he was looking for dirt on Palin in the 4Chan posts that he allegedly wrote. That’s it – I’m done arguing with you. You went away when everyone ignored your trolling the last time.
Louis: I’m from Philadelphia, expletives are a way of life. Vitae notwithstanding. Just look at Chase Utley’s famous quote from the World Series Celebration in CBP.
We don’t “disagree”. You, _clearly_, cannot produce the evidence of intent “to smear her”, as you’re on record of characterizing the crime. Otherwise, with all the opportunity afforded you, you already would have. How many strikes before you’re out, Skippy? Hint: You were ‘out’ before you ever lifted a finger to post.
Blogs are filled with trolls. Invest in a reflective surface (before speculators screw the pooch “there also too”.)
They should force him to shave all his body hair off and run naked in front of a gay parade! That will scare him straight for sure.
They are gonna LOVE him in prison.
