Three trials. Three accused. Three different ways to dodge accountability.
A socialite already serving life. A teenage gunman who took the stand in his own murder trial. A girlfriend recorded saying “I’m free” the day after her boyfriend’s six-year-old son died. Garret Fisher walks you through Friday’s tearful testimony from former MLB shortstop Royce Clayton in the Rebecca Grossman wrongful death civil trial — where Scott Erickson’s hamburger and IPA the day after the crash say everything. Then Cape Coral, where Thomas Stein takes the stand for shooting fifteen-year-old Kayla Rincon-Miller. And La Crosse, Wisconsin, where Josie Dikeman’s own words may convict her in the death of six-year-old Alexavier Pedrin.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.279
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Garrett Fisher. Monday, May fourth,
2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.120
twenty twenty six. This is Daily Crime and Justice. Let
3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.000
me tell you what we have today. In Van Nuys, California,
4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.280
a wrongful death civil trial is in its second week.
5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.239
The defendant is a woman named Rebecca Grossman. She is
6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.800
sixty four years old. She is currently incarcerated at a
7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.359
California state prison serving a sentence of fifteen years to
8
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.359
life or second degree murder after a jury convicted her
9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.880
of mowing down two boys in a crosswalk in Westlake
10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.000
Village in September of twenty twenty. The boys were brothers,
11
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:50.119
Mark Iscander was eleven, Jacob Ascandor was eight. Their parents,
12
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.280
Nancy and Kareem, are now suing Grossman in civil court
13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.119
for what their attorney has described as quote tens and
14
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.240
tens and tens of millions of dollars. They we are
15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.320
also assuing the man who was driving the suv directly
16
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.560
in front of Rebecca Grossman that night, A man who
17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.560
was racing alongside her, according to multiple witnesses, at speeds
18
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.959
that hit eighty one miles an hour, A man who
19
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.000
was charged criminally in connection with these two dead children
20
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.719
with one count of misdemeanor reckless driving, a charge that
21
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.000
was later dismissed after he agreed to give a public
22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.239
service announcement to high school students about driving safely. That
23
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.840
man is a former Major League baseball pitcher named Scott Erickson,
24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.840
and on Friday, his best friend of thirty years, Another
25
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.519
former Major League baseball player named Royce Clayton, sat on
26
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.560
the witness stand in Van nys and broke down crying
27
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.120
as he described the phone call Ericson made to him
28
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.359
within minutes of the crash. We are going to walk through,
29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.599
what Clayton said. In Fort Myers, Florida, a teenager named
30
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.120
Thomas Stein is on trial for the murder of a
31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.200
fifteen year old girl named Kayla rinkin Miller. Kayla was
32
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.840
walking with two of her friends after a movie. They
33
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.680
headed to McDonald's. They were filming each other on their phones.
34
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.920
They were doing a fake runway walk. Their friend, Kayla
35
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.400
had her whole life in front of her, and then
36
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.199
a silver SUV did a U turn at them, hit
37
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.520
them with high beams, and two boys got out with guns.
38
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.560
On Friday, Stein's co defendant testified that the original plan
39
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.199
was to break into cars, that Stein was the one
40
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.840
who proposed robbing three girls walking down the street, and
41
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.639
that after the gun went off, the co defendant, the
42
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.639
one who got the plea deal, turned to Stein and screamed,
43
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.240
why do you shoot? Then Stein himself took the stand
44
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.840
and In Lacrosse, Wisconsin, a woman named Josie Dyckman is
45
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.000
on trial for the death of a six year old
46
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:50.319
boy named Alexavier Pedrin. He was her boyfriend's son. He
47
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.719
died on the morning of February eleventh, twenty twenty three,
48
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.400
of blunt force trauma to the head, with a torn liver,
49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.240
swelling in his brain and zan in his blood. Diakman
50
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.520
called nine to one one and told them he had
51
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.639
gotten into a bag of drugs. The medical examiner did
52
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.080
not believe her. The boy's father, who had been arrested
53
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.000
the night before on a domestic violence call against Dykman,
54
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.479
did not believe her either. He worked with police from
55
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.800
inside a jail cell to record his conversations with her,
56
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.360
and on those recordings, the prosecution says, Josie Dykman tells
57
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.759
him quote, I'm free three stories today and then tomorrow
58
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.080
this show goes somewhere a little different. The production team
59
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.759
is taking two weeks. I'm going to be hosting solo
60
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.240
and we are going to spend those two weeks telling
61
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.919
David versus Goliath's stories, little guys who took on the
62
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.039
Powerful and One. We start tomorrow with the Central Park five,
63
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.840
Part one of two. So this is the last regular
64
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.039
episode of Daily Crime and Justice for a couple of weeks,
65
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:08.759
but that's tomorrow. Today we were September twenty ninth, twenty twenty,
66
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.879
Westlake Village, California, about thirty five miles west of downtown
67
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.120
Los Angeles. Affluent, quiet, the kind of suburb where a
68
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.680
parent feels comfortable letting her three young sons walk with
69
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.879
her to the park. Nancy Ascandor was crossing Triunfo Canyon
70
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.000
Road that evening with her three boys, five years old,
71
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.279
eight years old, eleven years old. Mark was the eleven
72
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.079
year old. Jacob was the eight year old. They were
73
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.519
in a marked crosswalk walk signal, doing everything right. Two
74
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.759
Mercedes SUVs came down that road at high speed. Witnesses
75
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.279
would later testify they appeared to be racing each other.
76
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.079
Data pulled from one of those Mercedes, the white one,
77
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.639
driven by Rebecca Grossman, indicates it was traveling it up
78
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.639
to eighty one miles per hour as it approached the crosswalk.
79
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.720
The speed limit on that road is forty five. The
80
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.480
first suv, a black Mercedes driven by Scott Erickson Zarres, swerved,
81
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.879
missed the boys kept going. The second suv, the white one,
82
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.519
did not swerve. Nancy Scandor was able to grab her
83
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.360
five year old and pull him out of the way.
84
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.480
She could not get to her older too. Both boys
85
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.240
were hit at full speed. Both were launched into the air.
86
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:26.279
Mark and jacobus Kandor died from their injuries. Rebecca Grossman
87
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.759
did not stop. She drove for several hundred more feet
88
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.560
before her windshield, her hood, and what was left of
89
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.040
her front end forced her to When officers arrived, she
90
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.399
was at the scene. Her car was destroyed and Mark
91
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.600
Iskander's body was lodged in the wreckage of the front
92
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.439
of her vehicle. In February of twenty twenty four, a
93
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.560
Los Angeles County jury convicted her of two counts of
94
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.079
second degree murder, two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence,
95
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.800
and one count of hit and run driving. She was
96
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.879
sentenced in June of twenty twenty four to fifteen years
97
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.839
to life. She tried to appeal. A California state appeals
98
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.959
court rejected the appeal earlier this year. She is currently incarcerated.
99
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.800
She will probably die in prison. That is the criminal case.
100
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.279
That case is closed. What is open, What started its
101
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.720
second week of trial on Friday in a courtroom in
102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.040
Van Nys is the civil case. The Askonder family is
103
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.160
suing Rebecca Grossman, her plastic surgeon husband Peter Grossman, as
104
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.480
the registered owner of the Mercedes, and Scott Erickson, the
105
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.879
man in the other SUV, for a damage's number their
106
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.240
lead attorney, Brian Panish, has described as tens and tens
107
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.439
and tens of millions. Some reporting puts that figure at
108
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:49.959
over one hundred million dollars. Now about Scott Erickson, because
109
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.439
this is where it gets interesting. Ericson is fifty eight
110
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.519
years old, six foot four. He had a fifteen year
111
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.120
career in Major League Baseball. Pitched for the Minnesota Twins,
112
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.920
the Baltimore Orioles, the New York Mets, the Texas Rangers,
113
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.519
the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the New York Yankees. He
114
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.519
won a World Series with the Twins in nineteen ninety one.
115
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.480
He was an all star. He had a real career
116
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.560
on the night Mark and jacobus Kandor died. He was
117
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.399
Rebecca Grossman's boyfriend. They had been having an affair for
118
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.879
some time. He was driving the Mercedes directly in front
119
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.800
of hers. According to witnesses, they were racing. According to
120
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.879
the data from her car, she was going at least
121
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:37.439
eighty one miles per hour. According to Rebecca Grossman's own
122
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.360
criminal defense team his own girlfriend's lawyers, the deadly crash
123
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.959
was Scott Erickson's fault. They argued at her trial that
124
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.240
he had been the one who actually struck the boys.
125
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.639
That argument did not work for Grossman. The jury convicted
126
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.959
her anyway. But here is what happened to Scott Erickson.
127
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.759
The man who was driving directly in front of Rebecca
128
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:02.879
Grossman at the same speed a Mercedes, who multiple witnesses
129
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.199
said appeared to be racing her, who saw the children
130
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.959
in the crosswalk before she did, because he was the
131
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:12.439
lead car. That man was charged with one count of
132
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:18.360
misdemeanor reckless driving, and that charge was dismissed after he
133
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.199
made a public service announcement to high school students about
134
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.120
safe driving. Two children are dead he gave a speech.
135
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.360
I want to sit in that for a second. Because
136
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.039
the gap between what happened to Rebecca Grossman, a wealthy socialite,
137
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.759
co founder of the Grossman Burne Foundation, married to a
138
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.720
famous Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, the kind of person you
139
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.879
would expect the system to protect, and what happened to
140
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:47.159
Scott Erickson, who is a former professional athlete, also wealthy,
141
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.960
also connected, also driving fast on the same road on
142
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.960
the same night. That gap is the entire reason this
143
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.679
civil case exists. The Iskander family is in court right
144
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.360
now because the criminal system gave them at most half
145
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.799
an answer. They are looking for the other half. Friday's
146
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.080
witness was the man who might be able to provide it.
147
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.279
Royce Clayton fifty six years old, seventeen years in Major
148
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.279
League baseball as a shortstop, played for eleven different teams
149
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.320
over those seventeen years. He was, by his own description,
150
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.639
a journeyman. After his playing career ended, he became a
151
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.879
baseball coach. In twenty twenty, he was the baseball coach
152
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:29.919
at Oakes Christian School in Westlake Village. Marcus Gander, the
153
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.559
eleven year old who was killed, was a sixth grader
154
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.879
at that school. Rebecca Grossman's two children also attended Royce.
155
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.559
Clayton was Scott Erickson's closest friend. They had known each
156
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.559
other for thirty years. On the day of the crash,
157
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.399
Clayton had drinks with Erickson and Grossman at a place
158
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:51.480
called Julio's Agave Grill in Westlake Village, Margarita's. The plan
159
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.600
was for the three of them to drive separately back
160
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.080
to Grossman's lakeside house and watch a presidential debate together.
161
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.519
Clayton stopped at a grocery store on the way. He
162
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.559
never made it to the house because while Clayton was
163
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.840
at the grocery store, Mark and Jacob Iskander were dying
164
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.200
in the road. What happened next is what Clayton testified
165
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.919
to On Friday, he called Ericson asking for directions to
166
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.399
Grossman's house. Ericson picked up. Ericson said, there has been
167
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:23.000
a horrible accident. You can't come, and then, according to
168
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:27.399
Clayton's sworn testimony, Ericson described what had just happened. He
169
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.240
told his best friend that he and Rebecca Grossman had
170
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.440
been These are the words Clayton said. Ericson used quote
171
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.440
fucking flying down the street, that she was directly behind him,
172
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.759
that as he came up to the crosswalk he saw
173
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.879
the children, that he swerved, and that after he swerved,
174
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.279
he looked in his rear view mirror and saw Rebecca
175
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.559
Grossman hit both of those boys. On the witness stand
176
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.200
on Friday, when the Escander family's attorney asked him to
177
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.840
describe that phone call, Royce Clayton broke down crying. He
178
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.679
had to wipe his eye with tissues. The judge called
179
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.320
a break. When he came back, Clayton continued. He testified
180
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.399
that Ericson told him. He then drove the rest of
181
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.679
the way to Rebecca Grossman's house. Grossman's house not the
182
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.960
scene of the accident, and from her house decided to
183
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.600
jog back to where she had hit the boys, where
184
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.080
the police were now arriving, where the bodies were. I'm
185
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.840
going to be honest with you, I have been reading
186
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:26.960
and rereading those facts for two days, and I cannot
187
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.240
make them sit still in my head. He saw the
188
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.799
children in the crosswalk, he swerved, he kept driving, He
189
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.600
went to her house, he jogged back. The two boys
190
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.360
were dead the whole time. And then it gets worse.
191
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.639
The next day, less than twenty four hours after Mark
192
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.600
and Jacob's candor were killed, Royce Clayton ran into Scott
193
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.600
Erickson at an oceanside restaurant in Malibu. Clayton testified that
194
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.639
Ericson was sitting there, eating a hamburger and drinking a beer.
195
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:57.000
Clayton himself was quote troubled by the loss of those boys.
196
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.000
It was weighing on me, he testified. He said he
197
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.279
kept thinking about the boy's parents. He said he could
198
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.600
not imagine he had children of his own. The man
199
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.600
who had described what happened to him on the phone
200
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.320
the night before was less than a day later, sitting
201
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.679
at a beach restaurant having a burger. Sometime around then,
202
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.639
Ericson sent Clayton a text message. The text read, and
203
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.799
this is on the record, this is not paraphrase. Quote,
204
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.000
Hey dude, I'm drinking your last ipa you left here
205
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.039
at the house. Nothing to worry about, Nothing to worry about.
206
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.399
Clayton sat on that for a while, he told the jury.
207
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.120
He eventually consulted a cousin of his who was a
208
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.960
former sheriff's deputy. The cousin connected him to the detectives
209
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.440
investigating the crash. Clayton testified that he was at first
210
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.080
conflicted about going to police. He said that growing up
211
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:53.039
where he grew up, Inglewood in Los Angeles, talking to
212
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.320
police about a friend would be considered his word snitching,
213
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.559
But he said the loss of those two boys outweighed
214
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.960
that he told the police what Ericson had told him.
215
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.360
Ericson's attorneys argued back at trial that Clayton's memory is imperfect,
216
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.559
that in a deposition, Clayton acknowledged he could not say
217
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:17.120
with certainty that Ericson used the word racing. Clayton conceded
218
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.879
that on Friday he said he was using semantics. He said,
219
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.279
I don't remember exactly what he said, but he stood
220
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.639
by the rest of it. The fucking flying, the crosswalk,
221
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:31.399
the rear view mirror, the jog back to the scene
222
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.159
now a piece of context the jury will be working
223
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.879
with as this trial continues. In the criminal case, Grossman's
224
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.519
defense team blamed Ericson for the crash. They said he
225
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.159
was the one who hit the boys, not her. The
226
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.320
jury rejected that. In the civil case, Grossman's defense team
227
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.039
and Ericsson's defense team are blaming each other. Grossman's civil
228
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.519
attorney has argued she never saw the children in the crosswalk.
229
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.919
Ericson's attorneys have argued he drove through without hitting them
230
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.679
and was not drunk. Both defendants are pointing at the
231
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.600
other one. The jury, eight women, four men, has to
232
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.000
decide how to apportion fault. And here is the thing
233
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.559
about the civil system. The standard of proof in a
234
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.879
civil trial is not beyond a reasonable doubt. It is
235
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.600
preponderance of the evidence more likely than not, which means
236
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.759
the question for this jury isn't whether Scott Erickson is
237
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.799
criminally guilty of anything. He isn't that doors closed. The
238
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.240
question is whether it is more likely than not that
239
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.679
he was civilly responsible in some measurable percentage for the
240
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.120
deaths of Mark and Jacobuscandor, and whether his estate, the
241
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.919
money he made over fifteen years in Major League baseball,
242
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.000
should pay damages to the a Scandor family for what
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.279
2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.120

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.000
