Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes
Em Adespoton writes "It was a computer security story that made headlines around the world, involving the private emails of a woman who could have become Vice President of the United States. And now, it's ended with a young man sent to a federal prison, hundreds of miles from his family home. David C Kernell, the hacker who broke into Sarah Palin's personal Yahoo email account, is reported to have been sent to jail despite a judge's recommendation that he should not be put behind bars."
The account he broke into was being used by Palin to conduct state business that she wanted to hide from being recorded in her official state email account.
Just a reminder.
And whether or not that's true, it's completely immaterial to the facts of his prosecution. Just a reminder.
Life is hard, and the world is cruel
Where's the proof she was conducting state business with an unauthorized account? If she was breaking the law, by all means, indict her. Just because *you* say she was breaking the law doesn't mean that, absent any proof whatsoever, she actually was. There's no actual evidence she broke the law.
I tremble at the thought of the injustice which would be prevalent in a society if it were run by people who think like you. You claim to wish for justice while simultaneously contradicting yourself, by demanding that an injustice be done (i.e. indict Sarah Palin without any evidence just because you don't like her).
