In 2003, King County prosecutors sought to have him locked away indefinitely at a treatment center for violent sex offenders, but his family and members of the Shoreline congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses said he had embraced the Jehovah's Witness faith and had turned his life around because JW "bible study" was better than psychiatric treatment. He was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in aq prison bathtub, making him an ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses, according to the teachings of the cult.
Gee, I can't wait to read this experience in the July Kingdumb Misery! Or maybe at the summer ASSembly, they can do a satelite conference with Brother Thompson from prison where he can talk about how being a Witness has really helped him turn his life around.
Seriously though, what the HELL are people thinking? It's not just the Witnesses who are at fault here, but this asshole's attorney (not that they ever have a conscience) and the moronic jurors who let this idiot out. What in God's name were they all thinking??! That an extremely violent sexual offender had "found religion" and was now cured? They should all be held accountable as they all played a role in this mess.
I hope this bastard rots in jail and then in hell for all eternity.
