Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s sister-in-law has pleaded not guilty to charges that she twice broke into the same home in the governor’s hometown.
Diana Palin -- the 35-year-old half sister of the governor’s husband, Todd -- is accused of targeting the Wasilla home to steal money. She pleaded not guilty to eight counts including theft, burglary and criminal trespass.
Palin was arrested April 2 after she was confronted by the homeowner. Police say tire tracks and shoe prints tied the woman to an earlier break-in.
