SIDELIGHTS:

Timothy A. Hutchinson told CA: "I was stopped on the way to attacking my high school with an assault rifle, then spent years on the wrong side of the law, always one step from prison or the grave. My first book, Battlescars, is the shocking true story of my battle against gangs, firearms, drugs, the Ku Klux Klan, and more. In it I detail all the violence that surrounded me, all the hate that consumed me, and how I turned it all around and survived. Fortunately I am now happily married with children, an emergency medical technician credited with saving two lives, and an expert on teen violence."
