Rebecca Grossman, sentenced to life for running down two boys, has won a round in court

Grossman Burn Foundation co-founder Rebecca Grossman, who was sentenced last June to 15 years to life in prison for fatally running down two young boys crossing a Westlake Village street, won a round in court on Tuesday, Jan. 14, when a judge denied a motion by the boys’ family for an expedited trial of their negligence and wrongful death lawsuit.

Grossman, 61, is named a defendant in the Van Nuys Superior Court complaint along with her then-boyfriend, former Dodger pitcher Scott Erickson.
