US EditionRebecca Grossman's Second-Degree Murder Conviction Upheld
Grossman was convicted of two counts each of second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and is serving 15 years to life for killing two boys in a marked crosswalk.
- On March 17, 2026, the California 2nd District Court of Appeal posted its decision affirming in full the trial court's judgment in Rebecca Grossman's case after last month's oral arguments with supporters of the Iskander family and the Grossmans filling the courtroom.
- On Sept. 29, 2020, Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, were struck while crossing Triunfo Canyon Road in a marked crosswalk as witnesses described two SUVs barreling toward the family.
- Prosecutors relied on the car's black-box readouts showing Rebecca Grossman's SUV hit the boys at 73 mph and she continued driving a quarter-mile after the collision, with a 2013 California Highway Patrol ticket for 93 mph cited.
- With the appeals court decision, Grossman will remain in state custody and continue serving her sentence, while the Iskander family pursues a civil wrongful-death trial next month and Grossman's lawyers may seek a State Supreme Court petition.
- Grossman's lawyers told the appeals panel the jury wasn't properly instructed on implied malice, arguing her conduct merited manslaughter, while Judge Joseph Brandolino called the deaths an "unimaginable loss" but noted her philanthropic work with the Grossman Burn Foundation.
