Remember David Kernell?  He was the one that hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account and posted her personal photos on 4chan.  And then Gawker retrieved those images and posted it on their website.  Kernell was able to hack Palin’s e-mail by getting through Yahoo! Mail’s security questions.  Today it was announced that three more federal charges were made against Kernell, the University of Tennessee student.

The three new chages are fraud, unlawful electronic transmission of material outside Tennessee, and an attempt to conceal records to impede an FBI investigation.

David pleaded not guilty to all charges.  The magistrate agreed to push back Kernell’s trial from May to October.  David is the son of a Democratic Tennessee legislator.
