Convicted child killer Rebecca Grossman set to come face-to-face with her ex-lover Scott Erickson as BOTH face wrongful death suit in tragic crash that killed Mark and Jacob Iskander

Convicted child killer Rebecca Grossman may finally come face-to-face with the ex-lover she tried to blame for the fatal hit-and-run of two young boys, as they both face a wrongful death lawsuit that could cost them millions. 

The wealthy socialite, 60, who is currently awaiting sentencing, is being sued in a separate civil case alongside her former lover and one-time LA Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson. 

A status hearing is scheduled for Friday in Nancy and Karim Iskander's lawsuit over the horrific hit-and-run slaughter of their sons Mark, 11, and Jacob, 8, as they walked across a marked crosswalk in Westlake Village, west of Los Angeles, in September 2020.

The civil case - in which the Iskanders are seeking unspecified damages for 'battery, negligence (wrongful death) and negligent infliction of emotional distress' - has been on hold, awaiting the final outcome of the criminal case against Grossman, who is scheduled to be sentenced June 10.

Erickson (pictured right) was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and his case was resolved in February 2022 with a judge ordering him to make a public service announcement for high school students about the importance of safe driving 

Grossman was found guilty of killing brothers Mark (left) and Jacob Iskander, 11 and 8, respectively, after slamming her Mercedes into them as they crossed the street on September 29, 2020

On February 23, after a six week trial, a jury found her guilty of all five charges against her, two counts of second degree murder, two of gross vehicular manslaughter and one of hit-and-run resulting in death.

Jurors didn't buy her defense team's contention that it was her 6ft 4in boyfriend Erickson's black Mercedes SUV - not Grossman's white Mercedes - that was responsible for killing the Iskander boys on the crosswalk.

In court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, the Iskanders say that on the day of the terrible crash, 'Erickson was drinking alcohol with Rebecca Grossman.'

'When they left the location where they were drinking together, Erickson knew Grossman was unfit to drive…because she was too intoxicated to do so. He knew so because he personally observed her drinking and paid for those drinks.

'Prior to leaving the location where they were drinking together, Erickson and Grossman discussed, planned and encouraged each other to race their vehicles on the roadway……

'Erickson specifically wanted Grossman to chase after him…because he believed the specific danger involved in racing would be exciting for the couple.

'As Erickson approached (the pedestrian crossing where the Iskander brothers were walking) he was racing his vehicle with Grossman, reaching speeds in excess of 70mph in a 45mph speed zone that were obviously unsafe for the current conditions as it was at night…..

'Erickson actually knew that racing his vehicle with Grossman alongside would cause her to try to keep up with him.'

The boys' parents have also filed a civil suit against Grossman and Erickson seeking damages over their sons' tragic deaths. Nancy and her husband Karim are pictured leaving court on February 6

A witness told the jury in Grossman's criminal trial that she had rushed to the nearby marked crosswalk in Westlake Village (pictured) where she found a distraught Nancy Iskander barefoot and a pair of shoes lying nearby after the crash 

The lawsuit adds: 'As Erickson illegally and unsafely raced through (the crosswalk , he narrowly avoided hitting Mark and Jacob Iskander with his vehicle.

'But Erickson personally observed Grossman crash into the two children and saw Grossman not stop (her) vehicle and try to flee the scene.'

During Grossman's criminal trial, the jury heard the two lovers - who were dating while Rebecca was separated from her husband, acclaimed plastic surgeon Peter Grossman - had been sharing margaritas earlier in the day and were racing each other at more than 70mph, with Erickson's car just in front of Grossman's, when the tragedy happened.

Erickson, 56 - who received only a slap-on-the-wrist reckless driving misdemeanor citation as a result of the accident - became the elephant in the room during the murder trial in which he never showed his face.

Time and time again, Grossman's attorney, Tony Buzbee, brought up his name, pointing the finger of blame at him. Yet Buzbee never subpoenaed Erickson to appear as a witness. Nor did prosecutors.

During Grossman's criminal trial several rumors circulated about his whereabouts including claims he was hiding out in a high-rise Las Vegas condo, coaching baseball in Mexico, or was living quietly on the beach in Orange County, south of LA.

But in the upcoming civil trial, Erickson won't find it so easy to lie low, since his name appears right below Grossman's on the list of defendants in the Iskanders' LA Superior Court wrongful death complaint.

In that complaint, the heartbroken parents - who say Grossman 'drove drunk and killed' their two young sons - also accuse Erickson of negligence that was 'despicable as it showed a willful and conscious disregard of the rights and safety of others.'

The boys' father, Karim said that the family was waiting on apology after the verdict was finalized 

'Knowing that his despicable conduct played a substantial factor in causing the fatal collision and that two children had been hit……Erickson kept driving and fled the scene…..he preferred to escape.

'Mark and Jacob lay dying in the roadway as Erickson fled the scene and did nothing to help the two children…..

'Erickson's intentional flight from the scene and/or inexcusable failure to call for help or otherwise refer aid was a substantial factor in causing the deaths of Mark and Jacob Iskander as the delay….caused first responders to get there later than they should have.'

Erickson - who played for six MLB teams during his 15-year baseball career - has hired attorneys to fight the Iskander's accusations and he filed a motion to 'strike' or cancel their complaint against him.

The motion to strike was denied but Erickson is still vehemently denying wrongdoing, with his lawyers saying in court documents that the Iskanders 'concede that Erickson was not driving or riding in the vehicle that struck Mark and Jacob.

'They also concede that Erickson avoided hitting the boys altogether when he drove through the intersection ahead of Grossman.

'Their (the Iskanders') self-serving presumption as to Erickson's 'gross negligence' are insufficient to justify an award of punitive damages…'

Erickson's legal response adds that the Iskanders' 'self-serving accusations that he was somehow 'racing' with Grossman, that he somehow knew that Grossman was unfit to drive because she was intoxicated at that time and that he tried to 'flee' the scene of the accident….are wholly speculative and cannot properly support a claim for punitive damages.'

Where Erickson is now or whether he will voluntarily show up at hearings in the civil case - and the eventual trial - without having to be ordered by the judge or subpoenaed, is unclear.

While Grossman remained free throughout the trial on $2million bond, she was taken into custody after the verdict and is now awaiting sentencing 

Erickson played with the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2005 for a year, then ended his career with the New York Yankees in 2006

And DailyMail.com's efforts to contact his Orange County-based attorney Jeff Braun by phone and email have so far received no response.

If he loses in the jury trial the Iskanders are asking for, Erickson - who filed for divorce in 2019 from actress turned TV sportscaster and reporter Lisa Guerrero after 15 years of marriage - could face a major financial hit.

But Grossman and her husband Peter - who is also named in the civil lawsuit as the owner of the white BMW that hit the boys and the one who pays the insurance on the vehicle - are a much richer targets for the Iskanders in their pursuit of cash damages as some compensation for the heart-rending loss of their two beloved sons.

Peter Grossman, 61, is medical director of Grossman Burn Centers, a multi-million dollar medial corporation with modern, state-of-the-art hospitals in West Hills, CA, Bakersfield, CA and Kansas City, Missouri.

Grossman Burn Centers was founded by Peter's plastic surgeon father,

Dr. Richard Grossman, who died at age 81 in 2014, leaving an estate estimated at more than $20 million.

The current centers - which specialize in the treatment and reconstruction of burn injuries - have cared for many wealthy and famous patients, including Jay Leno who went to Grossman when he was burned in a garage gas fire in 2022 and actress Anne Heche who suffered fatal burns in a fiery car crash the same year.

Rebecca Grossman helped run the philanthropic wing of the family empire, the Grossman Burn Foundation, often hosting star-studded galas and fund raisers to help collect the funds to pay for the treatment of burn victims who are not so well off.

Before her murder convictions revoked her $2million bail and she ended up in jail awaiting sentence, Grossman was living with her husband in a nine-bedroom, ranch-style Hidden Hills home worth around $9million and located in a gated community that boasts near neighbors like Kylie Jenner and former Full House TV star Lori Loughlin.
