A Los Angeles County jury has awarded the family of Mark and Jacob Iskander $176 million in damages after finding Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson negligent in the 2020 collision that killed the brothers.
The verdict found Grossman, a socialite and philanthropist, and Erickson, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, careless and 'acted in concert with each other in the course of their activities leading to the fatal collision.'
Grossman was convicted of murdering the Iskander brothers in 2024 and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. Prosecutors argued that she was driving at speeds exceeding 70 mph in a residential area when she struck the brothers.
The jury found that both Grossman and Erickson acted with malice in the Iskander boys' deaths, with Erickson admitting under oath that he was part of the accident and covered it up for almost six years.
