Former Major League Baseball player Royce Clayton testified in the civil trial against Rebecca Grossman, convicted of the 2020 hit-and-run deaths of brothers Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, in Westlake Village. Clayton, a friend of former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson, recounted Erickson's account of the crash, stating Erickson saw Grossman strike the boys in his rearview mirror as they sped down the road. Clayton became emotional on the stand, asserting Erickson should be held accountable. Grossman, co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for second-degree murder and vehicular manslaughter. Prosecutors allege Grossman and Erickson, her then-boyfriend, had been drinking before the crash. Erickson is expected to testify in the ongoing civil trial, where the Iskander family seeks accountability from both parties.
