Sarah Palin hacker Kernell gets one-year sentence

12.11.2010

Kernell was convicted on April 30, but his lawyers had argued for leniency, citing their client's "youth and emotional condition."

"The public humiliation, trial, and felony conviction are enough to deter any further violations of the law," his lawyers said in court filings.

He was sentenced by Judge Thomas Phillips of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, in Knoxville.
