DEATH BY MERCEDES: $$$ Socialite Mows Down Brothers, Wins Court Victory

<p>It's a small court victory for convicted socialite Rebecca Grossman against the parents of two young boys killed when a drunk Grossman plowed into them. The family is civilly suing Grossman and her former MLB star lover Scott Erickson for wrongful death.&nbsp; Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Huey Cotton threw out a motion to fast-track.&nbsp; The judge&rsquo;s decision means that trial won't start until the original December 1 date.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just after 7 pm, on a September evening, Jacob and Mark Iskander, their siblings, and parents go for an evening stroll to a nearby lake.&nbsp; &nbsp;The 6 member family is crossing in a crosswalk at a three-way intersection when mother Nancy hears a speeding car barreling their way. &nbsp;The mom says her husband and daughter were father away from the street. She tries to signal to the two SUVs to slow down.&nbsp; She tries to pull the children back, only managing to grab 1 of them and dive out of the way. &nbsp;Jacob and Mark are hit. &nbsp; Mark Iskander dies at the scene. Jacob dies later at the hospital. According to police, Mark was thrown 254 feet. &nbsp;</p> <p>Nancy Iskander tells police that two SUVs&nbsp; were&nbsp; "zig-zagging with each other as if they were playing or racing.&rdquo; &nbsp;She says the drivers didn&rsquo;t stop, at the intersection, not even when the 11-year-old was on the hood of the car. Deputies reportedly catch up with a white Mercedes with significant front-end damage a third of a mile from the scene. &nbsp;Behind the wheel is Rebecca Grossman.&nbsp; The Los Angeles County Sheriff's department says they believe that vehicle was traveling over 80 miles an hour. Grossman&rsquo;s breathalyzer test after the crash showed a blood-alcohol content of 0.076% according to local news reports. The legal limit in California is 0.08%. &nbsp;A blood sample taken three hours after the crash registered at the 0.08% mark.</p> <p>Rebecca Grossman was charged and convicted of two felony counts each of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death.&nbsp; Grossman was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.</p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace today:</p> <ul> <li>Mark Klaas -&nbsp;Founder, Klass Kids Foundation www.klaaskids.org &nbsp;</li> <li>Kathleen Murphy - North Carolina,&nbsp;Family Attorney, www.ncdomesticlaw.com &nbsp;</li> <li>Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta Ga&nbsp;www.angelaarnoldmd.com</li> <li>Sheryl McCollum&nbsp;- Forensic Expert &amp; Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder,&nbsp;former director of&nbsp;<strong>MADD</strong>, Georgia</li> <li>Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet" featured on "Poisonous Liaisons" on True Crime Network</li> <li>Ray Caputo - Lead News Anchor for Orlando's Morning News, 96.5 WDBO</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>TIPLINE:&nbsp;<strong>Mothers Against Drunk Driving 24-Hour Victim Help Line</strong>: 877.MADD.HELP or 1-877-623-3435</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
