Peter Grossman (pictured with daughter Alexis on May 17, 2024) testified in a civil trial brought by the Iskander family over the hit-and-run death of their sons.

The jury found that Grossman acted with malice in a case brought by the parents of Mark and Jacob Iskander.

The husband of a woman who killed two boys in a hit-and-run in Westlake Village was questioned about their financial circumstances in the punitive stage of a civil case against them.

The boys' parents were awarded $176 million in damages.
