The financial affairs of Rebecca Grossman, the prominent Los Angeles socialite convicted in a devastating hit-and-run case that claimed two young lives, are facing intense legal scrutiny as new court documents reveal questionable financial transactions.
Court filings obtained by DailyMail.com expose how Grossman, founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, transferred ownership of her multi-million dollar Hidden Hills mansion to her children following the tragic 2020 incident that killed brothers Mark, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8.
Questionable Financial Moves After Fatal Crash
Legal representatives for the Iskander family argue these property transfers appear designed to shield assets from potential civil liability. The transactions occurred after Grossman's black Mercedes SUV struck the two brothers while they were crossing a Westlake Village street in a marked crosswalk.
"These financial maneuvers raise serious questions about transparency and accountability," stated a legal expert familiar with the case. "When substantial assets are transferred following such a tragic incident, courts naturally examine whether there's an attempt to evade responsibility."
Criminal Conviction and Civil Proceedings
Grossman, 60, was convicted earlier this year of multiple felonies including murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, and hit-and-run driving. She faces up to 34 years to life in prison when sentenced later this year.
Simultaneously, the civil wrongful death lawsuit brought by Nancy and Karim Iskander, the parents of the deceased boys, continues to uncover complex financial arrangements involving Grossman's extensive property portfolio and business interests.
Former Baseball Star Connection
Adding to the case's notoriety is Grossman's relationship with former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson, who was reportedly driving separately from Grossman just before the fatal collision occurred. The former Dodgers player has not been charged in relation to the incident.
The case has captivated Southern California, highlighting issues of wealth, privilege, and accountability in the justice system. As both criminal sentencing and civil proceedings advance, the financial revelations continue to shape the legal battle surrounding this heartbreaking case.
