Overview
- Scott Erickson told jurors he did not see the collision and disputed retired MLB player Royce Clayton’s account that he watched Rebecca Grossman’s SUV hit the boys.
- Erickson acknowledged deleting WhatsApp messages with Grossman after the crash and said he did not realize the chats could become evidence.
- A forensic pathologist testified the boys died from blunt-force trauma with injuries that matched the grill pattern on Grossman’s Mercedes, while not ruling out contact with two vehicles.
- Sheriff’s investigators said Grossman was traveling at more than 70 mph, her SUV’s safety system shut the car down after the impact, and a test three hours later measured her blood alcohol at 0.08%.
- The Iskander family’s $100 million wrongful-death suit against Grossman and Erickson continues in Van Nuys, with the boys’ father expected to testify next.
