Sarah Palin will testify against the man accused of hacking into her Yahoo email account.

"Palin’s lawyer, Thomas V Van Flein, told multiple news outlets that the former Alaska governor will be in Knoxville to testify at the trial, set to start April 20," writes The Register's Dan Goodin. "Palin, who insisted the Russians were 'next-door neighbors' of her state, will appear at the request of federal prosecutors trying the case, he said."

"Touching off the entire incident, prosecutors in Tennessee allege, is one David Kernell, the son of a Democratic representative in that state," Goodin writes. "They say the college student is the individual who broke into Palin's account by using her publicly available biographical information, accessed messages and pictures and then left a detailed account online."
