With the Rebecca Grossman case in the hands of the jury, will it view her as a killer or see something more nuanced in the tragic events of that evening in Westlake Village three years ago?
Prosecutors have offered an unflinching description of Rebecca Grossman. Impaired by alcohol and Valium, they allege, she recklessly sped her Mercedes through a residential neighborhood, chasing her ex-Dodger boyfriend before killing two young boys in a crosswalk. The question now is whether jurors will believe this portrayal of a killer or see something more nuanced in the tragic events of that evening in Westlake Village three years ago.
Her youngest son, Zachary, was next to her on his scooter; Mark, on a skateboard, and Jacob, also wearing inline skates, were also in the crosswalk. “The mother did everything right,” Castro said. “Rebecca Grossman did everything wrong.” Iskander previously testified that she heard revving engines and looked up to see a black SUV speeding toward the intersection. She dove out of the way, pulling Zachary to safety.
