LOS ANGELES (KABC) — <\/span>Former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson took the stand Monday in the wrongful death civil trial against him and socialite Rebecca Grossman over a crash in Westlake Village that killed two young brothers nearly six years ago.<\/p>\n

Grossman, co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was convicted of second-degree murder in 2024 for the hit-and-run deaths of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, on Sept. 29, 2020. She is currently serving a 15-year sentence.<\/p>\n

Erickson was never called to testify in Grossman’s criminal trial.<\/p>\n

The Iskander family says both are responsible for the killing of their two boys.<\/p>\n

Erickson was questioned for hours on Monday. Brian Panish, the attorney for the Iskander family, lasered in on Erickson’s communication with Grossman, his then-girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Panish questioned Erickson about missing or deleted messages with Grossman in the years that followed.<\/p>\n

Panish aimed to chip away at Erickson’s credibility, who admitted to deleting some messages, lying or omitting information at different stages, including knowingly handing over a vehicle to experts, saying he was driving at the time of the incident but was not.<\/p>\n

“And you lied under oath when you produced the car to be examined by all of these experts that traveled to Las Vegas, and you watched all day as they inspected the car that wasn’t involved, didn’t you sir?” Panish asked Erickson on the stand.<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Erickson replied.<\/p>\n

Witness accounts presented earlier in the trial described Erickson and Grossman as racing before the crash. Erickson denied those accounts and responded to some speeding allegations.<\/p>\n

“Did you tell the police you were going 50 to 55?” Panish asked Erickson.<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Erickson replied.<\/p>\n

“Does that exceed the speed limit?” Panish asked.<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Erickson answered.<\/p>\n

“Did you tell the police you were going 50 on Lindero Canyon?” Panish asked.<\/p>\n

“I don’t recall,” Erickson replied.<\/p>\n

Erickson was questioned for about five hours, mostly providing brief responses.<\/p>\n

Grossman is not expected to testify in the civil case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
