KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—
Sarah Palin could testify as early as Friday at the Tennessee trial of a former college student charged with hacking into the ex-Alaska governor's e-mail.Husband Todd is also a potential government witness in the trial that will likely last into next week.
Prosecutors used Facebook records Thursday to show jurors how David Kernell bragged about his exploit and described his attempt to mask his identity. In an online chat, Kernell said he saw "nothing incriminating" in Palin's e-mail. That was followed by a frowning face symbol.
Kernell's lawyer has told jurors the case is nothing more than an overblown prank and his client had no criminal intent. If convicted, the maximum possible penalty is 50 years in prison.
