I think the best comment Peter Watts' has received so far on his case is:

I for one will sleep sounder tonight knowing that this dangerous non-complier will get the punishment he so clearly deserves. If Dr Watts will say “Why?” to a cop who just hit him in the face, who knows who or what he might say “Why?” to next.
This man is capable of questioning anything. There is no place for him in an obedient, deferential society that values unquestioning acceptance of authority. Let’s hope they caught him before he had the chance to infect any impressionable children with the spirit of scientific inquiry or a pernicious belief in civil rights and other discredited notions.


Basically, this is like the opposite of one of those legal dramas where the villain "gets off on a technicality - "
Petter got convicted on a technicality even though everyone in the courtroom seems to have admitted he'd done nothing wrong. The sentencing is in progress - here's hoping the judge does what he can to lessen the insanity of this case.
