Mark and Jacob Iskander were killed by Rebecca Grossman in 2020.

Rebecca Grossman faces up to 34 years for the deaths of Mark and Jacob Iskander.

It’s taken nearly four years, but finally the Iskander family will see the woman who is convicted of the murders of two of their sons sentenced for her crimes. Their mother Nancy says it’s been a long grueling path to justice.

"The day I lost them is one thing. The day of the funeral, I consider, is the darkest day of my life. But then the trial even tops that," Nancy Iskander told KCLU in an interview ahead of sentencing.

The hit and run took place in Westlake Village in September 2020.

Prosecutors have asked for the maximum sentence, 34 years to life, citing Rebecca Grossman’s lack of remorse. Grossman’s defense team have asked for her release on probation. The sentencing hearing Monday will hear from friends and family of the victims and the defendant.
