Socialite Rebecca Grossman ‘writes disgusting new letter from prison to mother of two brothers she murdered with her Mercedes and insists SHE’S the victim’


A murderess socialite wrote an appalling letter to the mother of two young brothers she killed with her Mercedes pleading for her to arrange a prison visit.  

Rebecca Grossman, 67, last week asked Nancy Iskander to visit her at the California Institution for Women ‘to see the circumstances she is in,’ Iskander said.

Astonishingly, Grossman also wrote that she is ‘a victim,’ Iskander said, in another apparent refusal to accept any responsibility for murdering eight-year-old Jacob Iskander and his brother Mark, 11, with her Mercedes in Ventura, California, in 2020. 

‘I’m still trying to process how someone could make such a request,’ Iskander wrote on X Wednesday. 

‘While I can only imagine how difficult her life behind bars must be, the truth is this: I would trade places with her in a heartbeat. 

‘I would live in any prison cell, under any conditions, for the rest of my life… if it meant my beautiful boys could be alive again—laughing, dreaming, growing up, and chasing every beautiful future they deserved.’

Grossman is serving a sentence of 15 years to life in state prison for the hit-and-run that happened while she was racing her former Major League Baseball star lover Scott Erickson home from a boozy lunch. 

Iskander said that she asked the court for a no contact order when Grossman, the wife of a multi-millionaire plastic surgeon, ‘sent me a letter after her conviction.’

Iskander and her husband Karim are due to face the killer in court again soon for the civil wrongful death lawsuit that the grieving parents brought against Grossman and Erickson.

Jury selection began in the high-profile suit Monday, with the civil trial expected to last approximately two months.

The case centers on a devastating night in September 2020 in Westlake Village, where the Iskander family was crossing a marked crosswalk on Triunfo Canyon Road.

Iskander testified during Grossman’s criminal trial that she heard engines roaring as two vehicles sped toward them. 

She grabbed her youngest child and leapt out of harm’s way, but her other two sons Mark and Jacob who were walking just ahead, were struck.

Her next memory, she told jurors, was seeing her sons lying motionless in the road.

Prosecutors said Grossman was driving her Mercedes SUV at speeds reaching 81mph in a 45mph zone when she plowed through the crosswalk. 

Evidence showed she continued driving for roughly half a mile after the impact before her vehicle shut down.

Nancy Iskander said that Grossman contacted her last week to request that she come to the California Institution for Women to ‘see the circumstances she is in’

Erickson had allegedly been racing Grossman in his black Mercedes after the two had earlier shared cocktails. He denies racing, drinking or causing the collision.

In February 2024, a jury convicted Grossman of two counts of second-degree murder, along with two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit and run resulting in death.

Her defense team argued on appeal that the evidence supported, at most, a manslaughter conviction claiming prosecutors failed to prove ‘implied malice,’ a legal standard required for second-degree murder.

But an appellate court rejected that argument last month, leaving the killer’s convictions intact. 

Grossman has never taken any responsibility for her actions and continues to portray herself as a woman wronged.  

Erickson was given a slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor reckless driving charge that was dismissed after he made a public service announcement to high school students about the importance of safe driving.

He has tried to distance himself from his ex and, in a new trial brief uncovered by Daily Mail, declared Grossman the ‘negligent cause’ of the fatal incident.

Grossman remains behind bars at the state prison in San Bernardino County and will likely be a very elderly woman if she is ever released. 

Her legal team has indicated that they may request a final review of her criminal case from the California Supreme Court.

The case drew intense public attention not only for its tragic facts but also for Grossman’s high-profile life.

Before her arrest and trial, she was known for her philanthropic work and her role in the Grossman Burn Foundation, tied to a network of medical centers founded by her husband, plastic surgeon Dr Peter H Grossman. 

The family lived in an affluent Hidden Hills neighborhood and moved in elite social circles.

Grossman was separated from her husband at the time of the smash, but he stood by her at her trial and the couple remain married.  

But prosecutors emphasized that status did not shield her from accountability.

At sentencing, they argued the force of the crash was so severe it was comparable to a Mercedes falling from a 12-story building – a measure of the violence inflicted on the two boys.

Grossman ultimately received a sentence shorter than the maximum prosecutors sought, a decision that left the Iskander family devastated.
