VAN NUYS, Calif.—The co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, who allegedly ran down two young brothers in a Westlake Village crosswalk and fled the scene, was ordered Thursday to stand trial on murder and other charges.
One of Rebecca Grossman’s attorneys, John Hobson, argued near the end of a roughly five-day preliminary hearing that the murder charges stemming from the September 2020 deaths of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, should be dismissed.
But Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels said, “I cannot with a clear conscience dismiss the murder charges.”
The judge said she believed that the actions of the now 58-year-old Hidden Hills woman “went well beyond gross negligence.”
