On
December 10, 2003, the lives of Joshua and Caleb Thompson and that of their
families were altered in a most drastic way. The twenty-four year old twin
brothers were convicted in an Austin, TX Court of Law for injury to a child.
Joshua was sentenced to twenty-six years and Caleb to fourteen
years in the Texas State Penitentiary. They applied corporal
punishment to an eleven year-old boy who attended their church. We
are not arguing guilt or innocence, but rather that their sentences are
unreasonably severe.
Joshua
and Caleb Thompson have absolutely no past criminal record; the boy completely
healed and has no marks or injuries whats |

from the discipline he received that day, and we are very much grateful
for this. We are also more than certain they will never make this
same mistake again. The purpose of this website is to petition your earnest
prayers and help for Joshua and Caleb that mercy may be
shown to them, so they may be brought out of prison to praise the Name
of the Lord as David cried in Psalm 142.
