Nancy Iskander, the mother of Mark and Jacob, two young boys killed in a 2020 hit-and-run, recently revealed a message she received from from the driver, who is currently serving a 15-year-to-life sentence.
The tragic incident occurred September 29, 2020 in Westlake Village, when Rebecca Grossman, an L.A. socialite, was racing her former lover, Scott Erickson, and struck the boys with her Mercedes SUV. Evidence showed Grossman was driving at 81 mph in a 45 mph zone and continued for half a mile after the crash. The boys were crossing a marked crosswalk with their family when they were hit.
Grossman recently sent a message to Iskander, saying that she is ‘a victim,’ and asked that she visit her in prison, to “see the circumstances she is in.”
Iskander shared her disbelief and pain in a post on X saying:
“I’m still trying to process how someone could make such a request. While I can only imagine how difficult her life behind bars must be, the truth is this: I would trade places with her in a heartbeat. I would live in any prison cell, under any conditions, for the rest of my life… if it meant my beautiful boys could be alive again—laughing, dreaming, growing up, and chasing every beautiful future they deserved.”
Grossman’s attorney denied the request for a prison visit and Iskander has also requested a no-contact order. The Iskanders are pursuing a civil wrongful death lawsuit against Grossman and Erickson, with jury selection expected to begin soon.
Grossman’s conviction includes two counts of second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter. Her appeal to reduce the charges was denied. Erickson, who faced a misdemeanor charge, denied involvement in the crash.
Grossman’s legal team may seek a review from the California Supreme Court.
