LA Socialite Accused of Trying to Tamper With Jury

A Los Angeles socialite who killed two young brothers in a drunken hit-and-run is allegedly asking her family to tamper with key players in the case in a quest to get a new trial, prosecutors allege.

Rebecca Grossman, 60, was found guilty last month of second-degree murder and other charges for the September 2020 car crash that killed 8-year-old Jacob Iskander and his 11-year-old brother, Mark. Since being jailed, Grossman has been allegedly asking her plastic surgeon husband and 19-year-old daughter to track down witnesses and her ex-lover and to release sealed evidence, prosecutors say in a Monday motion.

“If we can get witnesses to come forward and say they were told to say things, this can get us a new trial,” Grossman allegedly said in a Feb. 24 jailhouse conversation with her daughter, according to the prosecution’s motion first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
