OK, so the student did a stupid and illegal thing. Got it.
Now, let's ask ourselves this: Why is Sarah Palin using a private account when she is Governor? She has no respect for the sunshine laws that are supposed to make government transparent. She's not the first; the White House staff also used their acces to the RNC email system and other private providers to go around the legalites of compliance with archiving regulations.
If you're going to hunt the student down and make him pay for the crime, then I just hope some smart defense attorney uses discovery to fully explore what she was sending and what she was reading in her "private" correspondence.
