A horrific tragedy for Mark and Jacob Iskander and their family. There will never be true justice for them.
Hopefully the prosecution is solid. From what I read, she blew 0.076% and 0.075% at the scene with a breathalyzer and tested 0.08% with a (more accurate) blood test 3 hours later. And she tested positive for valium. Strong allegations she was racing with friend or lover retired Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson after being seen at a restaurant having margaritas with him.
To get a second-degree murder conviction, Gould and Castro must prove that Grossman acted with implied malice and knew the act of driving at a high speed in a residential area was dangerous to human life.
John Hobson, one of Grossman’s attorneys, said that “the evidence supports we have a tragic traffic accident,” but there was no implied malice, and Grossman was not “driving with proximity attempt to kill.”
Prosecutors argue that that knowledge comes from her prior incidents. Jurors will probably hear from a California Highway Patrol officer who pulled over Grossman in 2013 after she was clocked going 92 mph on the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills and warned her she could kill someone.
Prosecutors have not offered a plea deal to the socialite, who has been out on $2-million bond. If convicted of all charges, she could face up to 34 years in prison.
