The Case Involving Rebecca Grossman
We have stood by as family members and lifelong friends witnessing the painful persecution of a loved one based on false allegations, sensationalized news and gross overcharging by prosecutors, in turn, creating more suffering for all involved. Rebecca Grossman has been prohibited from sharing her side of the story.
Statement by Dr. Peter Grossman
“Although separated at the time of the accident, Rebecca and I have always been best friends. Unfortunately, with regard to this case, the prosecution has released irrelevant information to bring her character into question. This is upsetting to all who know Rebecca personally and know that she is a good person, loving mother and a compassionate human being. Once the facts of the case are revealed, we believe that the truth will prevail. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Iskander family.”
Case Facts
Police Bodycam Footage Shows Carelessness & Confusion During Crash Scene Investigation
Bodycam footage from the accident scene shows investigators clumsily trampling on evidence, and questioning the possibility that the spray pattern of the debris could have been caused by a single driver: “How the fuck does it get all the way over here, and then over there?”
The obvious answer that the Sheriffs failed to even consider—and that Scott Erickson likely confirmed by lying about what car he was actually driving that night– is that there were two separate impacts– a second driver and a second vehicle had to have been involved in the accident.
In the video, investigators casually dismiss key pieces of evidence, stating that “skateboard debris doesn’t matter,” and callously refer to important DNA evidence as “just fucking fluids” and “just splattered shit.”
In the end, the investigator instructs his partner to “Just mark some debris” and tells him, “We’ll figure it out later.”
Does this sound like a competent, professional accident scene investigation?
UNDISPUTED CASE EVIDENCE
On September 29, 2020, a tragic accident occurred. For two years, the media has focused on only one side of this story.
The EVIDENCE prosecutors do not want the public to know about clearly shows that the allegations are part of a false narrative.
Facts of the Case Include:
1. Regardless of the false accusations released to the media, Rebecca Grossman WAS NOT OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT. She blew under the legal limit nine times in two separate PAS breathalyzer (Lifelock FC 20) devices , as will be shown in the trial on the body cam footage of the sobriety test, even after inhaling sodium azide and other chemicals released from the two airbags that deployed, the two highest recorded breath test were still under the legal limit and registered that she was, in fact, blowing hard enough into the Lifelock FC 20 devices. She performed all tasks well and spoke clearly. Later, BAC results were under the legal limit. She was not drunk or impaired and has NOT been charged with a DUI. Grossman has never had a DUI or her license suspended (as reported in the news) and has no priors.
The prosecution’s own expert witness admitted on Monday, Feb. 6th that the trace amount of Valium in Rebecca Grossman’s system was at least four days old as well as BAC being under the legal limit in every test from her lab. The tabloids (like the Daily Mail) continue to create headlines that are completely misleading.
These reporters are in the courtroom and they are hearing the facts yet continue to create salacious headlines.
Additionally, the nurse at the hospital came forward with a statement that she claims Rebecca said “3 years” after seeing her at the hospital and the statement fit exactly the narrative that the prosecutors are trying to create
2. This is NOT a “street racing” case, as the press initially reported after being given false information by the Sheriff. The District Attorney overseeing this case further made this clear in open court; the statement made by the DDA, Ryan Gould - in a court transcript is, “NO EVIDENCE OF RACING.”
The Judge approved the prosecution’s motion that this transcript stating “No Evidence of Racing” be withheld from the jurors
3. Rebecca absolutely did not flee the accident scene and fully cooperated with legal authorities. The Judge has confirmed that she waited for police to arrive as directed on the 911 call. Furthermore, the Judge has stated on the record that there is no evidence to suggest Rebecca saw anyone on the road and even stated that he believes she did not.
4. The police and prosecution insisted on relying on black box data that was clearly wrong and erroneous—data that greatly misrepresented Rebecca’s speed. The truth and indisputable fact that her speed was approximately 51.9 will be shown in court.
5. Video footage (ALSO posted in a link below) from area security cameras (although the original footage was not preserved by Sheriff’s) clearly shows several vehicles passing through the crosswalk at the time of the accident, including three vehicles behind Grossman’s vehicle that left the scene. NO efforts were made by the prosecution to determine who was driving the other cars that all left the accident scene or whether they were also involved in the accident as reported by THREE eyewitnesses who were present within yards of the accident. Those reports have been concealed from the public by the prosecution.

6. When the Grossmans asked for a limit on the media exposure in the courtroom, it was primarily due to threats made against Rebecca, her family, and the burn centers that stemmed from fake news & social media that included accusations that she was a driver in another accident. They even published her photograph side by side with another family when it was a completely different woman with the same name. The story reran in the Daily Mail four times over a year. This, among other fake stories, was circulated on hundreds of media websites.
7. A story told by a CHP traffic officer, Lefler, was falsified to bring Rebecca’s character into question. This particular officer claims that he recalls a story from a routine traffic ticket he gave Grossman nine years ago. This nine-year-old traffic ticket has been used by the prosecution as a basis for claiming that Rebecca had “no regard for human life”. The only notes that the officer wrote on the back of the ticket in the designated section for information was that “she was on her way to pick up her kids at school.” Now, years later, he supposedly recalls Rebecca “threatening” him and conveyed this to a fellow officer involved directly in the investigation only after he saw the story on the news. This officer also chose to send a representative in his place to tell “this story” at the preliminary hearing to avoid cross-examination by the defense. WHY DID HE REFUSE TO TAKE THE STAND IN PERSON? Furthermore, when the defense requested access to this officer’s record, union reps appeared in court to block access to his file. Why? In turn, Judge Samuels approved sealing the officer’s record.
8. Two airbags were deployed at the time of the accident. Vehicles shut down fuel pumps to avoid potential fire when a collision triggers the deployment of airbags. The power is shut off to the vehicle immediately, including to the “Black Box” that stops writing the report.
See: https://www.plaintiffmagazine.com/recent-issues/item/beware-the-black-box
This is why Grossman steered her car to the side of the road to get out of traffic. The vehicle’s cabin became filled with fog from the sodium azide (and other chemicals) released from inside the airbag when the emergency bags began to deflate. This chemical causes burning to the eyes, visual impairment, and often triggers asthmatic reactions.
9. Among other “Black Box” anomalies, how reliable could the DA’s speed accusation be when Grossman’s “Black Box” has her average daily speed at 568mph!? Why did five of the 8 pieces of vehicle parts and debris simply vanish from the evidence room? Grossman’s vehicle did not have fog lights, but the documented debris indicated a fog light cover, which would be consistent with a different Mercedes vehicle, was found at the scene. This piece of physical evidence, which was in the possession of law enforcement, is now missing. How does evidence in a high profile “murder” case simply disappear?
The Truth Matters
Please know that along with Rebecca Grossman, we remain heartbroken and grieve deeply for the parents of Mark and Jacob Iskander. We pray daily for the family, their loved ones, and the community. We are now confident that the facts of this tragic accident will soon be revealed to help bring closure and healing to all shattered by this incomprehensible event. The parents deserve to know the truth.
Ever since the tragic accident on September 29th, 2020, which claimed the lives of two young boys, many have followed the false narrative created in the media.
Rebecca Grossman, described only as a “socialite,” has been painted to be someone that she is not by local and international tabloid media and by individuals on social media that do not know the actual facts of the accident. The articles printed in local tabloid-style newspapers and magazines like the Acorn and Los Angeles Magazine have been filled with untrue news designed to create rage bait to garner followers.
The intention of this site is not to create a victim or to place blame. The intention is simply to share the facts that have been concealed or remain uncovered by the media and to help educate the public by providing factual information.
We implore anyone who spoke to a Sheriff the night of the accident, witnessed or has information about the accident to please call: 866-202-1506
