Father, son get probation for harassing Palin attorney

(Reuters) - A father and son previously ordered to keep away from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin were sentenced on Friday to serve five years of probation for harassing her family's lawyer.

Craig Christy, 48, and his 20-year-old son, Shawn, pleaded guilty in January to charges stemming from hundreds of threatening and often-obscene telephone calls they admitted placing last August to Fairbanks attorney John Tiemessen, his colleagues and relatives.

The father and son were arrested in their home state of Pennsylvania and have been jailed in Alaska for most of the time since then. Sentencing was delayed until court-order psychiatric examinations were completed.

Probationary terms included a requirement that Shawn Christy spend up to 180 days in a residential treatment center. Other terms for both men included restrictions on their Internet use, prohibitions on contacting various Alaska residents and limits on contact with state court officials.

1. I would bet they pass the psychiatric examinations

But Palin and her drill baby, drill supporters should undergo the same, then thank Saint Reagan for doing away with mental health facilities so they can be put back on the street.
