The definition of chutzpah

So I was reading this article on Bristol Palin testifying at the trial of the guy who hacked into Sarah Palin’s e-mail account. She talks about how a screenshot of her cell phone number was disseminated and she got a bunch of harassing phone calls. So this kid, David Kernell, who is 20 years old, is the one accused of hacking into the account, and faces up to 50 years in federal prison if convicted of everything he’s charged with.

Late in the article, I see this wonderful quote:

Damn. That kid’s got brass balls.
