Kernell Escapes Indictment

Posted on September 23, 2008 at 2:42 pm

State Rep.’s son apparently beat the Grand Jury:

A federal grand jury in Chattanooga ended its Tuesday meeting without indicting a Tennessee lawmaker’s son in an investigation of someone hacking Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail.

Investigators last week searched 20-year-old David Kernell’s apartment in Knoxville, where he is a student at the University of Tennessee, but no charges have been filed. Kernell’s father is Democratic state Rep. Michael Kernell.

Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney declined comment about the grand jury but said the “government’s inquiry into this matter is ongoing.”
