Briefly

Rebecca Grossman, 60, was convicted of two counts of murder, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter, and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death after a hit-and-run collision that killed two children.
During the trial, evidence revealed Grossman accelerated from 73 to 81 mph just before hitting the children in a 45-mph zone, with witness testimony suggesting she might have been racing her boyfriend's vehicle.
Prosecutors stated Grossman was 'playing' in a deadly game of chase with her boyfriend, former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson. She was also impaired from alcohol and Valium, with her blood alcohol content near the legal limit.
