Tell that to David Kernell , the kid who guessed Palin’s password…

The incident was ultimately prosecuted in a U.S. federal court as four felony crimes punishable by up to 50 years in federal prison. The charges were three felonies: identity theft, wire fraud, and anticipatory obstruction of justice; and one optional as felony or misdemeanor: intentionally accessing an account without authorization. Kernell pleaded not guilty to all counts…

Kernell was sentenced on November 12, 2010, to one year plus a day in federal custody, followed by three years of supervised release.
