In a tragic case that has gripped Los Angeles, a speeding socialite named Rebecca Grossman is fighting for a new trial after being convicted of murder for mowing down two young boys in a street race. Mark Iskander, 11, and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, lost their lives in a devastating crash that shocked the community. As Grossman seeks to overturn her conviction, their grieving mother Nancy Iskander is still in search of justice for her sons.

The incident occurred in 2020 when Grossman, married to prominent Los Angeles surgeon Dr. Peter Grossman, engaged in a street race with her boyfriend, former MLB pitcher Scott Erickson. Both were driving Mercedes-Benz SUVs at speeds above 70 mph. Tragically, the Iskander family found themselves in the crosswalk as Grossman's vehicle barreled through, resulting in the loss of Mark and Jacob's lives.

During the trial, prosecutors revealed that Grossman had drugs and alcohol in her system at the time of the crash. Despite a guilty verdict in February, Grossman has yet to be sentenced and has shown no remorse. This lack of empathy, coupled with her courtroom antics, has infuriated the Iskander family.

Nancy Iskander expressed her frustration, stating, "She had many opportunities to show mercy, and she did not show any mercy on my family. In fact, she only showed hate - all sorts of hate in many, many ways - as if we're her No. 1 enemy in the world."

Moreover, the Iskander family accused Grossman of manipulating the justice system. She attempted to appeal her charges to the state Supreme Court before the trial and allegedly tampered with the jury by violating a gag order and discussing attempts to influence witnesses and the judge.

Adding to the turmoil, Grossman hired defense attorney James Spertus, a friend of the judge presiding over the case. Spertus is also representing a former deputy district attorney, Diana Teran, who faces unrelated felony charges. The Iskanders view this move as another attempt to sway the scales of justice in Grossman's favor.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office initially responded to the controversy by removing the lead prosecutors from the case, causing public outrage. However, after widespread backlash, the decision was reversed, and the prosecutors were reinstated.

Faced with Grossman's bid for a new trial, the Iskander family remains hopeful that justice will prevail. The grieving mother expressed gratitude that the original prosecutors, who have been involved in the case for the past four years and are familiar with the evidence and tactics employed by Grossman, will continue to represent them.

As Grossman's court appearance approaches on Friday, tensions are high. She is facing up to 34 years in prison for her convictions on two counts of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter, and hit-and-run resulting in death. Meanwhile, her defense attorney, James Spertus, denies any conflict of interest and believes the state attorney general's case against Teran is unlikely to succeed.

The courtroom battle continues, leaving Nancy Iskander and her family clinging to hope that justice will be served and that their beloved sons, Mark and Jacob, will finally find the peace they deserve.
