Ex-Dodger in Civil Suit Over Westlake Village Crash Weighs Punitive Damages

In a Westlake Village civil case over the 2020 crosswalk crash that killed brothers Mark (11) and Jacob (8) Iskander, former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson testified that, despite a $46 million career, he has little money now as jurors weigh additional punitive damages against him and Rebecca Grossman, who was convicted of second‑degree murder. The Iskanders were awarded about $176 million in wrongful‑death damages, and the punitive phase centers on whether Erickson and Grossman acted in concert or engaged in street racing. Prosecutors say asset concealment (trusts, crypto, etc.) is relevant, while defense argues there’s no basis for punitive damages beyond the underlying tragedy.
