A Father's Dream Gift Spins Off Into a Nightmare for an Innocent, Inner-City Youth in the New Non-Fiction Book, Theft by Court Announced by Outskirts Press
Carl could scarcely predict the uneventful August evening in Los Angeles would careen out of control. The inner-city youth would learn a harsh lesson about justice in the true tale, Theft by Car.
Los Angeles, CA, March 19, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Carl's dad had bestowed on him the dream gift for any inner city youth: a car. But those spinning wheels would lay at the center of an episode that would change the young man's life forever. It's the true story that lies at the heart of author Esther M. Lofton's brand new non-fiction book, Theft by Court, published by Outskirts Press.
Carl's friends in Los Angeles had found work, but he had not. So, the friends, who worked in west LA where transportation was not ideal agreed Carl would pick them up after work for the return trip to the inner city and they would share the cost of gas. The plan worked brilliantly until one August evening when Carl stopped his vehicle at a stop light behind the wrong reckless driver.
What started as a minor summer fender-bender, not uncommon in the city of Los Angeles, soon mushroomed out of control. Officers from two different police departments swarmed the scene, and Carl found himself embroiled in two court cases in two different cities of the County of Los Angeles. Theft by Court is an anecdotal record of how institutions of the people related to this innocent, inner city youth. The book is a short read of 105 pages that chronicles real events and asks the reader to apply careful scrutiny to all documents, records, actions and letters therein.
