"Panish stated, 'They were racing, you are going to hear,' emphasizing that at least six witnesses observed the deadly crash on September 29, 2020. He highlighted the reckless behavior of both Grossman and Erickson, who were intoxicated while driving."
"'Because Mr. Erickson is racing, and he's in the first lane, he blocks off the boys ability to escape,' Panish explained, detailing how the circumstances of the race contributed to the boys' inability to avoid the collision."
"'They are both hit at 73 mph by Ms. Grossman - 73 mph, which is the equivalent of taking a 4,800-pound car and dropping it from a 12-story building,' Panish described the severity of the impact, underscoring the tragic consequences of their actions."
Rebecca Grossman, serving a 15-year to life sentence for second-degree murder, was involved in a fatal crash that killed two young brothers. During a civil wrongful death trial, an attorney for the boys' parents stated that Grossman and her ex-boyfriend, Scott Erickson, were racing while intoxicated. Witnesses reported seeing the crash, and Grossman was allegedly driving at 73 mph. The boys were crossing the street with their mother when they were struck, with Grossman's intoxication and racing behavior contributing to the tragedy.
