A student convicted of hacking into former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's email account in 2008 has been sentenced to a year in state custody.

David Kernell guessed the answers to Ms Palin's security questions and reset her password, prosecutors said.

Defence lawyers described the offence as a youthful prank. Kernell was a 20-year-old student at the University of Tennessee when he committed the crime.

The judge recommended his term be served in a halfway house, not prison.

3. He's in the wrong business. If he was a War Criminal he would be fellated live on TV and given the

Medal Of Freedom.

He just had the wrong priorities.
