In a tragic case that has captivated Los Angeles, socialite Rebecca Grossman has been handed a jail sentence of 15 years to life after being convicted of second-degree murder in a hit-and-run car crash that resulted in the deaths of two young brothers. The sentencing took place on [no specific date mentioned].

Grossman, a co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, expressed remorse but maintained her innocence during the hearing. The 60-year-old apologized to the grieving family, insisting that she did not see the two boys on the night of the accident. Her defense team argued that the boys were initially struck by a vehicle driven by Scott Erickson, a former LA Dodgers baseball star, with Grossman driving behind him.

However, the prosecution rejected this assertion, labeling it a "ridiculous theory." They also presented evidence suggesting that Grossman was driving at nearly twice the speed limit. Subsequently, Grossman was found guilty of two counts each of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter, and one count of hit-and-run driving.

Prior to the judge's final sentencing, the prosecution argued that Grossman exhibited a "complete lack of remorse." Despite this, the judge opted not to grant the requested longer sentence of 34 years to life, stating that Grossman was not the "monster" the prosecution portrayed her to be.

During the emotional hearing, Grossman could be seen crying, expressing that she would have rather driven into a brick wall than hit the young boys with her car. She further revealed that her lawyers had advised her against contacting the parents of the victims, a claim disputed by the mother of the boys, Nancy Iskander. According to the boys' mother, she witnessed Grossman outside the emergency room on the night of the crash and said, "You looked me in the eye. You knew they were dying."

Grossman, who co-founded the Grossman Burn Foundation with her husband, Peter Grossman, is known for the organization's work in supporting burn victims worldwide.

This tragic incident has served as a reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless driving and the importance of staying vigilant and responsible on the roads. It has left a community grieving the loss of two young lives while seeking justice for their untimely deaths.
