ABC7 Los Angeles • • nation
Key Points:
- Former MLB player Royce Clayton testified in the wrongful death civil trial against Rebecca Grossman, convicted in the 2020 hit-and-run deaths of two brothers in Westlake Village.
- Clayton stated that his friend and ex-Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson told him he saw Grossman run over the boys in his rearview mirror.
- The victims, Mark Iskander (11) and Jacob Iskander (8), died in the crash, prompting a civil suit naming Erickson, who was only charged with misdemeanor reckless driving.
- Clayton emotionally testified that Erickson admitted to speeding with Grossman and swerving to avoid the boys, and he believes Erickson should be held responsible.
