Rebecca Grossman is accused of conspiring with her husband and daughter in jailhouse calls to 'hunt down jurors, sway the judge and demand her retired MLB star ex say that HE killed two brothers in horrific hit-and-run crash'

Los Angeles County prosecutors believe socialite Rebecca Grossman has been calling her husband and teen daughter from jail to try to use them to influence witnesses, the jury, the judge and her ex-lover. 

Grossman, 60, was found guilty on February 23 of all counts over the September 29, 2020 crash that killed Jacob Iskander, 8, and his brother Mark, 11, while speeding on a residential street in Westlake Village. 

It was ruled that Grossman failed to stop after mowing them down.

She denied killing them throughout the trial, with her attorney trying to muddy the waters by suggesting her former Major League Baseball player ex-boyfriend Scott Erickson had instead struck the siblings. 

Now, Ryan Gould and Jamie Castro - Deputy District Attorneys for LA County - have filed a motion providing calls Grossman made with her 19-year-old daughter Alexis and husband Peter that suggest she may have asked them to hunt down witnesses and jurors and try to sway Judge Joseph Brandolino to give her a new trial. 

In addition, she's alleged to have told her teenage daughter to publicly release a body-camera video worn by a deputy that had been sealed by Judge Brandolino and even wrote a letter to the victims' mother after she was found guilty.

Nancy and Karim Iskander, the two boys' parents, said they received the letter from Grossman on March 13. 

The county is asking the judge that Grossman be barred from contacting them.

Despite Brandolino sealing the jurors' contact information as well, at least two jurors reported three other members of the jury were contacted by Paul Stuckey, a private investigator 'for the family,' according to Gould and Castro.

'This investigator did not properly identify' which family he was working for, leaving open the possibility he may have been working for the prosecution or the Iskanders.

At no point did Grossman's lawyer Tony Buzbee petition the court for a juror's identity.

The deputies argue that the only possible way they could've found the jurors was by photographing a pre-sealing jury list or copying from that list. This is a form of both jury tampering and illegally having personal information of jurors.

They want the court to have that information returned and they want Grossman barred from accessing phones or receiving visitors outside her legal team. They also want her mail checked, according to the LA Times.

Deputies claim Grossman used her phone privileges to encourage and engage in 'potentially illegal conduct.'

'These calls include admissions to violating the court protective order regarding the disclosure of evidence on the internet and to the press,' the filing states.

The prosecution has long believed Grossman has tried to influence the trial from jail. 

On the day of the verdict, prosecutors asked Judge Brandolino to jail Grossman ahead of sentencing after they accused her of leaking confidential information about her case to a TV reporter to influence the jury. 

This was 'a direct violation' of a protective court order the judge made to exclude certain evidence from Grossman's six-week trial, said Deputy District Attorney Ryan Gould, adding that 'it was a deliberate attempt to influence the jury.'

The judge warned Grossman but decided against jailing her at the time.

She's also accused of using these calls to detail criminal conspiracies, including getting people to sway witnesses and Judge Brandolino, in addition to trying to get teen daughter Alexis to publish the body-camera video from a sheriff's deputy at the scene of the crash. 

All phone calls are recorded by the Twin Towers jail where Grossman resides awaiting sentencing.

'I want you to unblock the videos,' she tells Alexis in one call detailed in the filing from February 23.

Grossman also attempted to get her husband to sway ex-lover Scott Erickson to confess

She responds: 'I will.'

Her husband Peter then shockingly adds: 'Everything you want us to put out, honey, let us know. We're going to put it all out.'

'I want you to put everything out,' Rebecca confirms.

Castro had stated at trial after Alexis testified that the teen was 'clearly a victim of her mother's manipulation.' 

Prosecutors got the video sealed after informing the judge there was a webpage backed by Grossman's legal team where it was on display. 

However, Rebecca still pushed to get the video out to the public, in a separate call the next day demanding her husband ask a local TV reporter air it.

In other calls, she's allegedly heard asking her husband to speak to a doctor at a burn center where Peter Grossman is the medical director.

Susan Manners, one of the witnesses to testify against Rebecca at trial, is a patient of that doctor.

Rebecca told Peter she was upset that the doctor had not been able to sway Manners. 

She also allegedly told Peter to speak to a man named 'Tom' in an attempt to talk to Judge Brandolino to get her a new trial.  

'If we can get witnesses to come forward and say they were told to say things, this can get us a new trial,' Rebecca told daughter Alexis on February 24. 

'We have to get a real story out there about everything behind us and everything that wasn't done and all the things that were hidden from the jury and how the media influenced the entire trial and how they were releasing all this stuff to the media, just to make me look like a monster and that we know that the jurors were influenced by it,' Grossman added, demanding Alexis find witnesses the defense hadn't yet called.

She believes they create reasonable doubt and back up what her legal team said in an opening statement, that they saw a black car - allegedly the SUV belonging to Erickson - strike the Iskander brothers, and not the white car Rebecca followed him through the crosswalk with.  

'I'm going to do everything for you, Mom,' Alexis responded. 'Everything. And so is Dad.' 

The everything apparently included Rebecca trying to get Scott Erickson - the former Major League Baseball pitcher and her ex-boyfriend -  to take the fall.

'You should call Scott Erickson and tell him to get on a video and that he needs to confess,' Rebecca said to Peter on February 25. 

Rebecca's believed to have told her husband and teen daughter to influence jurors, witnesses, the judge and her ex-lover

Mark and Jacob Iskander were killed in the horrific crash on September 29, 2020

Grossman was convicted after she'd pleaded not guilty to two counts of second degree murder in the 'hit-and-run' deaths

Peter Grossman responded: 'I know he needs to confess, but right now, I can't even talk about the case. But that guy needs to [know] you're in jail for him, and it drives me crazy.' 

'Tell him to [make] a video and confess,' Rebecca repeated. 'I have a family.'

She was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of vehicular manslaughter by an LA jury of nine men and three women. 

Grossman has had her $2 million bond revoked and has been jailed until her sentencing April 10, where she faces 34 years to life. 

Defense attorney Tony Buzbee accused deputies at the scene of 'dropping the ball', with crash evidence destroyed or being thrown in the trash. 

Grossman denied killing them throughout the trial, with Buzbee trying to muddy the waters by suggesting Erickson had instead struck the siblings.

That was seen as an attempt to exploit cops' failure to check his car for damage, which Grossman was chasing in her Mercedes. Her car suffered damage consistent with striking the siblings.

The Iskanders' lives were 'completely dismantled' by the 'wreckage left behind' by Grossman, said Castro, on the evening of the tragedy, September 29, 2020.

Grossman had a margarita with friends that day, then another at the now-closed Westlake Village restaurant Julio's with Erickson – whom she was dating while she was estranged from her husband.

The two left Julio's around 7pm – she in her white Mercedes SUV and he ahead in his black Mercedes SUV – to go to her nearby home to watch a presidential debate.

Witnesses reported seeing the two cars 'flying by' or in the 45mph speed limit on Triunfo Canyon Road. One of those witnesses saw a woman at the wheel of the white Mercedes and said, 'It seem to be jovial, like there was some sort of race going on.'

The black box of Grossman's car – which was just behind Erickson's – recorded her speed at 81mph when she tapped the brakes and 'plowed into the boys on the crosswalk at 73mph,' said Castro.

'That was the last moment of the boys' lives. If she had been doing the speed limit the crash could have been avoided,' she added.

'After the collision, she did not stop – she continued driving' ….about a third of a mile down the road, with Mercedes' emergency accident system automatically kicking in to turn off the fuel pump and bring the vehicle to a stop….'

Castro said that while other people coming by stopped at the accident scene to try to help the fatally injured boys, Grossman 'did not come back to the horror she had caused. She didn't call 911. She did not get out of her car and go back to the scene of the crash.'

'The prosecution only cared about the truth. The were working against the most evil defense attorneys,' Nancy Iskander said following the verdict 

Grossman later told a hospital worker: 'If Mercedes had not turned off my car I would be in my garage right now.' 

After the verdict, Gould stated that the jurors had seen through this excuse: 'I would like to thank the jury - we are very happy with the verdict... There was not a shred of evidence that Scott Erickson was involved.'

The dead boys' mother, Nancy Iskander, said on the day of the verdict that she and her husband Karim 'have been waiting for this for three and a half years.

'The prosecution only cared about the truth. The were working against the most evil defense attorneys. Coming to the trial felt every day like the funerals of the boys'.
