New attorneys for Rebecca Grossman say prosecutors failed to prove she acted with implied malice and that erroneous evidence was admitted in her trial.

Rebecca Grossman's new attorneys are seeking a new trial that would overturn her second-degree murder conviction in the killing of two young brothers in a Westlake Village crosswalk, arguing that prosecutors failed to prove she acted with implied malice and that erroneous evidence was admitted. Attorneys James Spertus and Lara J.

Spertus and Gressley also argued that two margaritas may have left Grossman impaired, as prosecutors argued at trial, but that doesn't mean she knew she was a danger to life, they said. Castro and Gould introduced evidence of Grossman's past speeding but nothing showing 'subjective knowledge that speeding on Triunfo Canyon Road would result in a fatal accident,' the defense lawyers argued.
