it was at a magistrates and there was not trial, he just got conditional discharge...

there is no stenographer in magistrates courts, so there won't be a transcript of what happened. he must have pleaded guilty (or there would have been a trial), and generally the facts are read out by the prosecutor. he might have been asked a few questions, or made some comments, but I doubt there would be a record of that.

you could always ask at the court, or the police who handled the case.
