Unfortunately, this site does not provide details of any sentences before 2006. I am sure you have tried local newspaper archives, but because you have the sentencing court and date you can also try to contact the courts ‘post hearing team’ and see if, as a journalist, they would be kind enough to search their archived records. It may be that data protection laws prevent them from assisting you or because the date precedes the implementation of their new IT system they are unable to help. You may also want to look at Westlaw and Lexis which have products used by journalists to research people that may have the information you’re looking for.
