Rebecca Grossman, a socialite from California, was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the hit-and-run deaths of two young brothers, Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, in Westlake Village in 2020. The tragic incident occurred when Grossman hit the brothers while driving at high speed after having a boozy lunch with her lover. Despite Grossman's claims that the crash was caused by a street race and that she was not the driver, evidence presented in court pointed to her as the driver at the time of the accident. Grossman's ex-boyfriend, Dr. Peter Grossman, expressed his shock and sadness over the situation but defended her character as a mother and a person. The victims' mother, Nancy Iskander, expressed her disgust with Grossman's actions and the leniency of the sentence. Grossman's daughter, Alexis, also spoke at her mother's sentencing, portraying her as a loving and caring person despite the events that had transpired.

The judge's decision to sentence Grossman sparked mixed reactions, with some feeling that the punishment was not harsh enough for the crime. Others believed that justice had been served, considering the severity of the hit-and-run incident. Grossman's defense had argued for a lighter sentence, stating that she had no criminal history and had demonstrated remorse for her actions.

The trial and subsequent sentencing of Rebecca Grossman received extensive media coverage, drawing attention to the tragic consequences of reckless driving and the importance of accountability in such cases. Grossman's case serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of irresponsible behavior on innocent lives and highlights the justice system's role in holding individuals accountable for their actions.
