A California jury has found Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson liable for the 2020 deaths of Mark and Jacob Iskander, awarding the victims' family $176 million in compensatory damages.

加州一個陪審團判定 Rebecca Grossman 與 Scott Erickson 對 2020 年 Mark 與 Jacob Iskander 的死亡負有責任，判處其向受害者家屬支付 1.76 億美元的補償性損害賠償。

The litigation originates from a September 29, 2020, incident in Westlake Village, wherein Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson, then in a romantic relationship, allegedly engaged in a high-speed street race following the consumption of alcohol. Evidence presented indicated that Grossman operated a vehicle at speeds significantly exceeding the 45 mph limit, resulting in a collision with the Iskander children at a designated crosswalk. While Erickson's vehicle did not make physical contact with the victims, the jury concluded that the defendants acted in concert, thereby establishing Erickson's negligence.

此訴訟源於 2020 年 9 月 29 日在 Westlake Village 發生的一起事件。當時 Rebecca Grossman 與 Scott Erickson 處於戀愛關係，據稱兩人在飲酒後在街道上進行高速賽車。呈堂證據顯示，Grossman 駕駛車輛的速度大幅超過每小時 45 英里的限速，導致在指定行人穿越道與 Iskander 的孩子發生碰撞。雖然 Erickson 的車輛未與受害者發生肢體接觸，但陪審團認定被告兩人共同行動，從而確立了 Erickson 的過失責任。

Prior to the civil verdict, Grossman underwent criminal adjudication in February 2024, resulting in convictions for second-degree murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, and hit-and-run driving. She is currently serving a sentence of 15 years to life. Conversely, a misdemeanor reckless driving charge against Erickson was dismissed following his participation in a public safety campaign.

在民事裁決之前，Grossman 於 2024 年 2 月接受刑事審判，被裁定犯有二級謀殺、嚴重交通肇事致死及肇事逃逸罪。她目前正被判處 15 年至終身監禁。相反，對 Erickson 的輕罪魯莽駕駛指控在他在參與一項公共安全宣導活動後被撤銷。

Regarding the financial restitution, the defense has asserted that Grossman possesses no independent earned income, as her activities have been limited to charitable volunteerism. This claim stands in contrast to the plaintiffs' assertions that the defendants have attempted to obfuscate the extent of their collective assets, specifically those associated with Peter Grossman, a prominent plastic surgeon and owner of the vehicle involved in the collision.

關於財務賠償，辯方主張 Grossman 並無獨立賺得的收入，因為她的活動僅限於慈善志願服務。這項主張與原告的指控相左，原告聲稱被告企圖掩蓋其共同資產的規模，特別是與知名整形外科醫生兼涉案車輛所有者 Peter Grossman 相關的資產。

The court has awarded $176 million for wrongful death and emotional distress, with further proceedings pending to determine the allocation of payments and the potential imposition of punitive damages.

法院已判處 1.76 億美元用於賠償過失致死與精神痛苦，後續將進行進一步程序以確定款項分配以及是否處以懲罰性損害賠償。
