Rebecca Grossman Sentenced to 15 Years for Murder of Two Brothers
Grisly Double-Homicide Leaves Community in Shock
Los Angeles Jury Finds Defendant Guilty
On Monday, June 10, 2024, a Los Angeles judge sentenced Rebecca Grossman to 15 years to life in prison for the murder of two young brothers. The jury had found Grossman guilty in February after a lengthy trial.
The victims, 9-year-old Ethan and 11-year-old Raymond, were crossing a Westlake street when they were struck by Grossman's car. Prosecutors argued that Grossman was under the influence of alcohol and driving recklessly at the time of the incident.
Grossman's defense attorney maintained that she had accidentally hit the boys and that the prosecution had failed to prove she was intoxicated. However, the jury ultimately rejected this argument and found her guilty of second-degree murder.
The sentencing of Grossman brings closure to a tragic case that has devastated the victims' family and rocked the Westlake community. The incident has also sparked a renewed debate about the dangers of drunk driving.
