In court papers, Colman is recorded as describing the case as "a modern-day witch hunt" after "a gang of religious nutters had laid seige to my property for more than half an hour".
He is now suing the Government for bringing the case in the first place - and for errors made since it began.
Colman was initially found not guilty of the disorderly conduct charge but guilty of using offensive language - a charge he said he didn't know about until the judge declared him guilty of it. The mistake by police and the courts allowed Colman to apply to the court to have the conviction quashed.
He was successful - and then again found guilty and fined $250.
Again Colman appealed, representing himself throughout the case. This time the court reduced its finding to a discharge without conviction.
Colman said he had been told by lawyers the case would have cost taxpayers $2 million in court time, legal fees and other judicial costs.
One judge described Colman as "obsessed". "Absolutely," said Colman. "I'm proud of the fact I've become obsessed with it. I'm proud of the fact I've not put up with this terrible travesty of justice."
The church member who went on to Colman's property said he wanted nothing to do with the case.
Crown solicitor Michael Smith also said he could not comment because he was still part of legal action being taken by Colman.
Justice Minister Simon Power said the system allowed people to dispute charges and appeal where they had been convicted, "but this takes time".
"I'm advised that Mr Colman has exercised those rights, which have resulted in an acquittal on one charge and a discharge without conviction on the other."
