LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Rebecca Grossman, co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges today for
running down two young boys in a Westlake Village intersection in 2020.
The nine-man, three-woman jury reached its verdict on the second day of deliberations, mulling the evidence for a total of about nine hours before rejecting a defense contention that Grossman’s then-boyfriend, former Dodger Scott Erickson, was the one who fatally struck 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, on Sept. 29, 2020.
Grossman, 60, was convicted of two counts each of second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and hit-and-run resulting in death.
