They indicted the 20 year old for illegally accessing Palin's email account with possible 5 year prison term and $250,000 fine. Brought him to court in shackles.

Is it just me or does this seem excessive? What he did was wrong and he is an adult but it looks to me like they are making an example out of him. I suspect if he lived in San Francisco or the upper west side of Manhattan they would be giving him the key to the city but he lives in Tennessee. I can see disagreement with my view and generally I am all for punishment of criminals but this seems a little out of whack. I hope they can plea bargain, whack him enough to deter others from making the same stupid mistake and then letting him move on with his life.

We shall see how this all plays out. As I understand it his Dad is a straight shooter (as evidenced by comments made by Dems and Republicans in Tennessee) and probably is very distressed at what his son did.
