A Southern California socialite was found guilty Friday of murder and other charges in the hit-and-run deaths of two young brothers in a crosswalk more than three years ago.

Authorities said Rebecca Grossman, wife of a prominent Los Angeles burn doctor, fatally struck Mark Iskander, 11, and brother Jacob, 8, while speeding behind a car driven by then-lover Scott Erickson, a former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.

The jury found Grossman guilty on all counts: Two felony counts each of second-degree murder and gross vehicular manslaughter, and one felony count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death. She faces 34 years to life in prison.

      That is a pathetic stupid false dichotomy. Why is it either a “justice” system that cannot hold the rich accountable, OR a system that murders innocents?

      You are just making excuses for them. Stop it.

          You are replying to a question about how it took so long, not that it didn’t happen.

          Again, stop playing in to the false dichotomy. It’s pathetic.

            Imagine typing this out and accusing other people of not acting like adults.

              Imagine thinking an immature insult is a valid comeback. You fucking goons are pathetic. Have fun watching your freedoms and life slip away, because you wanted to be cool instead of right. Fucking loser.

                It might not be valid (whatever that means). But holy shit is it obvious that I hit the nail right on the head.
