He should not have to serve
He should not have to serve any time in prison for that bullshit. Prison is for dangerous and/or repeat offenders. Or should be. But the feds will aggressively seek to lock up anybody because they have a completely martial view of how the laws should be executed.
Meanwhile, you can break into
Meanwhile, you can break into a sitting Senator's OFFICE in Louisiana and you get folk hero status.
Personal accountability really sucks where you're wrong
and kernell was flat wrong, not sure what action the university of tennessee took with regards to this action. If you're convicted of the crime, you get to do the time.
Hate if for him, but maybe he'll get some momentum going and get on with his life.
If you're going to hack into national Republican candidates, I'd suggest you not do it in the Eastern District of the State of Tennessee Federal System. It don't roll here the way it does in Memphis, thank you for shopping.

Or get caught banging hookers and you get re-elected to the U.S. Senate if you're a hardcore "family values" Republican. Or get the country into war on phony evidence and get the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ad nauseam.
