CORRECTION

ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

First Baptist Church of Kitty Hawk member Richard McGinniss, who

was convicted of simple assault last week, said that he struck the

Rev. James Pittman in self-defense. The claim was incorrectly

attributed to assistant district attorney Robert Trivette in a story

Tuesday. Pittman says he was not struck in self-defense. Also,

McGinniss' name was misspelled in parts of the story. by CNB
