Jurors remain dead-locked in Palin e-mail case

(CNN) - Federal jurors deliberating the case surrounding the 2008 email hacking of then-Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin remain deadlocked on one of the four issues they have been tasked to consider, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.

Jurors are deliberating in their fourth day over the issue of identity theft in the case of a 22-year old man accused of hacking Palin's e-mail account while he was a student in college.

Though remaining divided that issue, jurors did inform the judge Thursday they reached a unanimous verdict on three other charges - wire fraud, intentionally accessing Palin's e-mail account without authorization, and obstructing an FBI investigation.


David Kernell, 22, the son of a Tennessee state representative pled not guilty to all the counts. Kernell's defense rested Monday in the Knoxville trial. He did not take the stand and the defense called one witness, an FBI agent who said Kernell had been emotionally upset, according to CNN affiliate WATE-TV.

In closing arguments Monday, prosecutors told jurors that Kernell, who was a student at the University of Tennessee, was persistent in gaining access to Palin's account, and once he did it, chose not to back down.
