As a taxpayer and an IT worker I object to the amount of taxpayers money being wasted on this.

It was obvious to all except the CPS from the beginning that sending an email does not constitute making unauthorised changes to a computer and therefore the case should not have been brought. To further drag it out like this is just a total waste when changes should be made to the law if neccessary to catch this in future.
