Erickson says Grossman hit two boys; Clayton testifies

During a civil wrongful-death trial, Royce Clayton testified that ex-Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson told him Rebecca Grossman fatally struck two brothers, Jacob and Mark Iskander, in a Westlake Village crosswalk while driving at high speed; Erickson reportedly said they were racing and that Grossman should have stopped, and the two had been drinking beforehand. The Iskander family is suing for civil liability; Grossman is serving 15 years to life after being convicted of second-degree murder.

Civil suit opens in Westlake Village crash that killed Iskander brothers

Opening statements begin in a civil case brought by the Iskander family against Rebecca Grossman and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson over the 2020 Westlake Village crosswalk crash that killed 11-year-old Mark and 8-year-old Jacob; Grossman is already serving a 15-year sentence after being convicted of two counts of second-degree murder, while Erickson’s role is disputed as the plaintiffs allege street racing and impairment contributed to the deaths and that Erickson fled the scene; the case seeks financial damages for the boys’ family.

Appeals Court Affirms Grossman Murder Verdict in Westlake Village Crosswalk Case

A California appeals court has upheld Rebecca Grossman's February 2024 conviction for two counts of second-degree murder (along with related charges) in the September 2020 crosswalk killings of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander, who were struck while in a marked crosswalk in Westlake Village. Grossman is serving 15 years to life; the defense argued the evidence showed only manslaughter and lacked implied malice, but the court rejected that argument and left the verdict intact. Civil wrongful‑death suits against Grossman and a co-defendant are pending.
