Every day, countless families walk the streets, trusting that their neighborhoods are safe. However, for Nancy Iskander, that trust was shattered when her two young sons were tragically killed by philanthropist Rebecca Grossman. This incident, which occurred while the boys were walking in a crosswalk, has left a profound impact on the community and raised difficult questions about accountability and justice. As the trial unfolded, Nancy's heart-wrenching testimony revealed the harrowing moments leading up to the accident, highlighting the emotional and physical pain caused by Grossman's actions.
In the aftermath of the incident, the courtroom became a battleground for grief, anger, and a quest for justice. Nancy Iskander's struggle to find closure was palpable as she recounted the events that led to the loss of her sons, Mark and Jacob. The trial's conclusion brought a sentence that many felt was insufficient, igniting discussions about appropriate punishment for those who cause harm, whether intentionally or through negligence.
On the day of Grossman's sentencing, the emotional weight of the case was felt not just by the families involved, but by all who had followed the story. The judge's decision to impose concurrent sentences for the two counts of murder has left many questioning the legal system's handling of such tragic cases. As Nancy Iskander continues to seek justice, her journey serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact of loss and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions.
For months, Nancy Iskander came to court hoping to get justice for her two young sons, who were struck and killed by philanthropist Rebecca Grossman as she drove her SUV through a Westlake Village crosswalk.
Iskander offered graphic, wrenching testimony about witnessing Grossman’s Mercedes speeding toward the boys as they took a family walk in their neighborhood. At sentencing on Monday, she recounted how Grossman refused to apologize at the hospital that night.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino on Monday sentenced Grossman to two concurrent terms of 15 years to life, with three concurrent years for fleeing the scene of the fatal crash. That means Grossman will serve 15 years to life. She had been facing 34 years to life in prison.
