Overview
- A civil jury found Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson liable in the 2020 crosswalk deaths and awarded $176 million for compensatory and emotional damages.
- The trial has moved into a punitive-damages phase in which the Iskander attorneys say punishment should reflect malice and seek tens of millions more.
- Plaintiffs presented recordings and questioned property transfers to Texas and Georgia and liens on the Grossmans’ Hidden Hills home as evidence of asset shielding.
- Peter Grossman testified and apologized to the Iskanders, acknowledging his wife’s role while frequently clashing with the family’s attorney over facts and finances.
- Closing arguments in the punitive phase began Tuesday and the jury is preparing to decide whether additional penalties should be imposed and how large they should be.
