Appeals court upholds Grossman conviction in Westlake Village crash that killed two boys

A California appeals court panel affirmed Rebecca Grossman’s conviction for the 2020 Westlake Village crash that killed two Iskander brothers, rejecting defense arguments about an improperly defined implied malice instruction. Grossman remains sentenced to 15 years to life after a 2024 conviction on two counts of second-degree murder, multiple counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and a hit-and-run. Prosecutors cited speed data showing roughly 81 mph in a 45 mph zone and a black-box readout of 73 mph at impact; her former boyfriend was not called to testify. The victims’ mother expressed gratitude that justice was upheld while urging others to channel their pain into helping others.
