My understanding is that it was a conditional discharge and that is the leanest sentence the court can give to a plea of guilty but legal people may know differently. The plea was to the technical offence of digging without the licence and removing artefacts. This I believe at the time or subsequently with the full knowledge of the pilots now deceased brother. The licence had been applied for prior to the dig and was granted. It was however recieved some days after the dig.
Within the spirit if not the letter of the law?
