The Westlake Village woman was speeding through the crosswalk, the prosecution said as her murder and vehicular manslaughter trial began, but defense aims to tell a different story.

Rebecca Grossman, charged in the death of two young brothers killed by her vehicle in Westlake Village in 2020, is the co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation and the former publisher of Westlake Magazine.

Cars pass by the crosswalk at the intersection of Triunfo Canyon Road and Saddle Mountain Drive where Mark and Jacob Iskander were struck and killed by a vehicle in Westlake Village, CA. Rebecca Grossman, a co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and vehicular manslaughter in connection with the crash and was released from jail Thursday morning.

A memorial is growing for Mark and Jacob Iskander who were killed after being struck by a vehicle in a crosswalk at the intersection of Triunfo Canyon Road and Saddle Mountain Drive in Westlake Village, CA. Rebecca Grossman, a co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was arrested on suspicion of DUI and vehicular manslaughter in connection with the crash and was released from jail Thursday morning.

In his opening statement, the prosecutor told jurors that a passenger in a car behind Grossman’s vehicle saw the white Mercedes-Benz strike Jacob. “She continues to go past … and doesn’t stop for over a third of a mile away. … She never goes back to that crosswalk,” Gould said. Buzbee insisted that a separate vehicle — Erickson’s — went through the intersection 2 1/2 seconds before Grossman.

Testimony is set to begin Monday in the Van Nuys courtroom, with the victims’ mother, Nancy, expected to testify that day.
