Peter Watts wasn't convicted of assault

Canadian author Peter Watts was convicted of disobeying a border guard, but the Port Huron Times-Herald also claims he was conviced of assault. The story--already much-cited on the internet--is wrong on that point and some others. But the web self-corrects at light speed: one of the jurors who convicted him is apparently in the comment thread at the misleading story, debunking it.
