Internet history and other files that related to a crime are evidence.
Yes, I think that's the key point. It isn't that nobody is allowed to delete browser history. It's that nobody is allowed to destroy evidence of a crime. I have thrown away many knives over the years. But if I threw away a knife that I knew had been used to stab somebody to death, that would be destruction of evidence (assuming it was not found in the dump) and illegal, but also distinct from all the knives I threw away earlier.

If he was unaware of the investigation then he did nothing wrong by deleting his browser history. I delete mine all the time. ANYONE could at any time unknowingly be under investigation whether they did anything or not.

How could he be unaware?
He willingly and knowingly hacked a public official's account, purposely to get private information on said official to expose her in publicly because he disliked her.
He knew damn well what he was doing and knew an investigation was going to happen once he released all the information to the media.
He purposely tried to cover his tracks and failed miserably.
You don't intentionally and willingly hack a public official's email account without knowing the punishment involved.
He deserves to have the book thrown at him for what he did to Sarah Palin, regardless of how we feel about her.

Yes, of course. What was I thinking?
We're guilty until proven innocent and the accused should have no rights.
I cut off the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tag from a mattress so I'd better not delete my browser history, lest I be charged with destroying evidence.
Whatever...........

That's not the same thing.
He hacked Sarah Palin's computer, gave the files to the media to report, while trying to cover his tracks.
You don't hack a computer by accident, unknowingly search the files for controversial material, while mistakenly typing the necessary code and clicking the necessary buttons to transfer the files to your own computer, and then unknowingly seek out the media to give them the files to damage Sarah Palin's already precarious name.
He's just an over confident hacker that for some reason used his own computer, his own accounts and internet connection to do the job... This allowed him to be caught RED handed.
If he was smart hacker, he would have used non trackable accounts, using someone else's computer with a public internet connection.
He didn't even bother to mask this ISP connection (you can download apps for this), which would have at least cast doubt on his doings.
This would have given him the ability to claim he was hacked!
There is no reasonable doubt or presumed innocents, since he left a very clear trail evidence for the government to follow and purposely hacked a public official and purposely gave those files to the media to report on.
I bet you he is doing a public service just like Snowden
