Palin hacker asks for probation
But federal prosecutors are recommending an 18-month prison term for David Kernell. His sentencing is set for Nov. 12 in Knoxville.
His attorney, Wade Davies, says in a motion that probation is justified, partly because of the 22-year-old former University of Tennessee student’s youth.
A jury in April convicted Kernell on charges including unauthorized access to a protected computer and destroying records to impede a federal investigation. The maximum possible prison sentence is 20 years.
The former Alaska governor and her daughter Bristol testified that the hacking caused them emotional hardship.
