Bristol bombarded with calls after hackers broke into mother's email account

Daughter of Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin, testified Wednesday. While she was 17 and pregnant in 2008 when her mother Sarah Palin's Yahoo! account was invaded after the former Alaska governor was picked as the Republican vice presidential candidate.

  Bristol said she worried when a bunch of boys called, claiming they were at her front door and wanted in. "We live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska ... in the middle of the woods," Bristol said during the trial of a 22-year-old former college student accused of hacking the account.

The trial continues Thursday and could last more than a week. Sarah Palin also was subpoenaed to testify but it was unclear if and when she would.

David Kernell was an economics major at the University of Tennessee when he was accused of hacking the account. He is on trial on charges of identity theft, wire fraud, intentionally accessing Mrs Palin's email account without authorization and obstructing an FBI investigation. If convicted, he could be sent to prison for up to 50 years.
