LOS ANGELES — A Hidden Hills socialite must stand trial for the murder of two boys, a judge decided Thursday after hearing testimony that Rebecca Grossman struck the pair in a crosswalk while going more than 70 mph and continued driving.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels determined after a five-day preliminary hearing that there is sufficient evidence for Grossman to be tried on two counts of murder, two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death.
Samuels' decision came after what amounted to a mini-trial in which she heard tearful and graphic testimony from the children's mother, Nancy Iskander, sheriff's investigators and eyewitnesses.
