Alleged Sarah Palin hacker, Kernell to wait another six months for trial

It shouldn't come as a surprise, given all the motions flying before Judge C. Clifford Shirley, but alleged Sarah Palin hacker David Kernell's trial has been moved back six months.

It was set to start today, but it turns out the judge moved it to April 20 2010 a few weeks back.

Looks like there are about a dozen motions before the judge right now, including five motions to dismiss the indictment.

Kernell was fingered as the guy who posted emails from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's personal Yahoo account to the 4chan Web site during last year's presidential race.

He was arrested a few weeks later and hit with felony hacking charges -- something that some observers called a bit of a stretch.

Kernell, the son Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis, has been out on bail as he awaits trial.
