Grossman apparently stopped her car a quarter of a mile away after the engine cut out, and the district attorney’s office claims that she made 14 attempts to restart the vehicle, which may be evidence of a hit-and-run. She apparently struck Jacob and Mark while traveling at least 71 miles per hour.
In an interview that appeared in Los Angeles Magazine on Monday, Grossman said that she is frequently misinterpreted.
In a Zoom interview from her lawyer’s office, Grossman told Jason McGahan of Los Angeles Magazine, “There is a lot of hate and rage out there.” And that hatred comes from accepting all of the false information that has been spread about me, including that I have no regrets, that I’m a monster, that this hasn’t changed my life, and that I simply go about my daily activities as if nothing ever happened.
She said, “That’s just not true,” the story goes.
Although it was noted that the Iskanders “had experienced much worse” than Grossman, the narrative mostly concentrated on how struggling Grossman has been since killing the boys in her car in 2020.
She feels “crushing remorse” and thinks that the trauma of the collision may have contributed to the death of her own mother, according to the article. According to Los Angeles Magazine, Grossman, who co-founded the Grossman Burn Center with her husband Dr. Peter Grossman, has been referred to be a “socialite” and “philanthropist,” yet she is now mostly shunned by her own wealthy, celebrity-filled neighborhood.
She said to McGahan that “the thought of taking the easy way out entered my thoughts,” and according to McGahan, Grosmann “confessed” to him that she had thought about suicide. “It still does occasionally.”
She tears every day, her husband said to McGahan about Grossman. She may never be able to escape from her emotional cage.
Victims Parents Nancy Iskander’s statements made in court
The boys’ mother, Nancy Iskander, saw the sons’ murders. She claimed in testimony given in court in April that she and her sons were at a crosswalk at a three-way junction when she heard the noise of motors. She was able to grab her 5-year-old son and run for cover before Grossman hit her other boys. Nancy Iskander testified that her youngest son saw emergency personnel provide CPR to his sibling Jacob, who passed away at the hospital hours later. Mark expired there and then.
The couple’s daughter and the father of the boys, Karim Iskander, were out for a jog at the time.
A misdemeanor dangerous driving allegation has been brought against Erickson, who it is said drove past the family before Grossman struck the kids.
Grossman attempted to have the murder charges dropped earlier this year, but the judge determined that there was sufficient proof to claim that Grossman behaved with “implied malice” and was aware that exceeding the speed limit in a residential area may risk human life.
The adolescent daughter of Grossman, according to Los Angeles Magazine, has created a website where she claims that her mother is the victim of a “false narrative” and “gross overcharging by prosecutors.”
March will see the start of Grossman’s trial. If found guilty of the most serious allegations against her, she might spend the rest of her life in prison. On a $2 million bail, she has been free for almost two years.
Tony Buzbee, Grossman’s lawyer, did not instantly respond to Law&Crime’s request for comment.
