- A jury ordered socialite Rebecca Grossman to pay $21 million and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson $1.17 million in punitive damages, atop a prior $176 million civil award to the parents of two young brothers killed in a 2020 hit-and-run.
- Grossman was already convicted in 2024 of second‑degree murder, gross vehicular manslaughter and hit‑and‑run and sentenced to 15 years to life.
- Prosecutors say the crash involved speeding and drinking after Grossman and Erickson were together; Erickson’s lawyer says his vehicle didn’t hit the children and their exact roles remain disputed.
