The Brief
- Civil jury deliberations resume Wednesday in a massive wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Iskander family against socialite Rebecca Grossman and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson over the 2020 deaths of two young brothers.
- The plaintiffs’ attorney demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, arguing the couple was driving impaired and racing at speeds up to 80 mph, while defense attorneys denied racing took place and countered with a maximum $10 million figure.
- Key defense points center on the visibility of the crosswalk and claims that the initial police investigation locked onto Grossman exclusively, though Erickson’s own attorney conceded his client repeatedly lied to police and lawyers.
