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."

People with your low opinion of the sanctity of our Election Process. The crime is worse because he was trying to affect a national election by committing a crime. But if you're okay with it because it was Palin, then you open it up for everyone everywhere to try. What really must piss you off is that the guy didn't find any dirt on Palin.
