Overview
- Royce Clayton, who testified Friday, said Scott Erickson told him he saw Rebecca Grossman hit Mark and Jacob Iskander as she followed his SUV at high speed.
- Clayton recounted that Erickson described swerving to miss the boys in a marked crosswalk and then watching in his rearview mirror as Grossman’s Mercedes struck them.
- Jurors are hearing a wrongful-death case that seeks to hold both Grossman and Erickson civilly liable under a lower burden of proof than in a criminal trial.
- Grossman is serving 15 years to life after a February 2024 murder conviction in the case, and an appeals court upheld that verdict earlier this year.
- The crash occurred at a three-way intersection without a traffic light, and prosecutors said Grossman reached about 81 mph and stopped roughly a quarter-mile from the scene.
