Palin E-Mail Snoop Gets Year In Prison

netbuzz writes "David Kernell, whose prying into Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account caused an uproar two months before the 2008 presidential election, was today sentenced to a year and a day by a judge in Knoxville, Tenn. Kernell was convicted of misdemeanor computer fraud and felony obstruction of justice back in April. His attorney had argued for probation on the grounds that what Kernell did amounted to a prank that spun out of control."

    No. You are intentionally putting her in danger and we know it. The kitchen has the highest number of flaming hot stoves in the house, for hell's sake.
