Yesterday in the Magistrate’s Court Sean Osmand was also granted an absolute discharge on three charges, meaning that he has been found guilty but will not be punished further. He was convicted last week of using classified databases to look up vehicle registration numbers for no other reason than, by his own admission, ‘reckless curiosity’. Osmand’s defence lawyer, Advocate Christopher Lakeman, argued that the costs should be split between the Crown – and thus the taxpayer – because the case had been drawn out over a long period of time only to find Osmand guilty on just five of the 38 charges against him.
