Grossman civil trial begins today over crosswalk deaths
Rebecca Grossman and former boyfriend Scott Erickson face the Iskander family in civil court. The judge is already considering sanctions.
The civil trial against Rebecca Grossman for killing two little boys in a crosswalk just over the hill is scheduled to begin this morning. And this time, her accomplice and former boyfriend is also on the hook.
Grossman is currently serving in prison on murder convictions for killing Jacob and Mark Iskander as their parents pulled their two other sons out of the path of two speeding cars. The cars were driven by Rebecca Grossman and her boyfriend at the time, former professional baseball player Scott Erickson.
They were apparently playing high speed vehicle games after downing cocktails and heading to her home.
The survivors are suing. Jury selection is supposed to begin today.
The judge is already mighty angry at her. Superior Court Judge Huey Cotton told attorneys that Grossman had sent the judge a letter. That is very much against court rules.
The judge did not open the letter, but ordered it to be sealed. Cotton called Grossman, 62, trying to directly contact the court "absolutely unacceptable." He said he would set a hearing on possible sanctions.
