A mom still mourning the tragic deaths of her two boys after a LA socialite killed them after speeding through a crosswalk reacted to the disgusting message the killer sent her from jail. 
The boys’ mother, Nancy Iskander, who lost her sons Mark and Jacob in the 2020 hit-and-run crash, wrote in a post on X about the vile request she got from their killer Rebecca Grossman last week. 
“Last week, Rebecca Grossman—the woman who killed my two precious boys, Mark and Jacob, by speeding through a crosswalk—made a request that I would go visit her in prison… to ‘see the circumstances she is in.’ 
And that she is ‘A victim,’” the mom’s post read. 
“I’m still trying to process how someone could make such a request. 
While I can only imagine how difficult her life behind bars must be, the truth is this: I would trade places with her in a heartbeat.” 
Iskander added, “I would live in any prison cell, under any conditions, for the rest of my life… if it meant my beautiful boys could be alive again—laughing, dreaming, growing up, and chasing every beautiful future they deserved.” 
In March, the California appeals court rejected Grossman’s final bid to overturn her 2024 conviction and keep her behind bars with no early release and no reprieve. 
The ruling cements her fate: 15 years to life in prison for a crash that shocked the nation and claimed the lives of two young brothers. 
The tragedy unfolded in 2020 when Grossman’s SUV slammed into 11-year-old Mark and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander in a marked crosswalk. 
Also drawing scrutiny was Scott Erickson, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who was driving a separate car nearby, raising questions about whether the pair had been speeding together. 
Erickson, however, was never charged. 
Even behind bars, Grossman had faced scrutiny for alleged attempts to access restricted materials. 
Iskander has spoken about her heartbreak, emphasizing the stark contrast between her children’s lives and the privileged world Grossman once inhabited, filled with charity galas, magazine spreads and elite social circles.
