North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County columnists

North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County columnists: "AUSTIN, Texas ---- A 12-year-old testified Wednesday that he was severely beaten with a tree branch by a church pastor and his twin brother to 'get the devil out' of him because he had misbehaved during Bible class.

Joshua and Caleb Thompson, both 23, are accused of the 2002 beating, which police say was so severe that the boy's kidneys failed and he required a blood transfusion.

The Thompsons face felony charges of serious injury to a child and aggravated assault, with penalties ranging from probation to life in prison if convicted."
