What happened

Why it matters

The boys’ mother, Nancy Iskander, who lost her sons Mark and Jacob in the 2020 hit-and-run crash, wrote in a post on X about the vile request she got from their killer Rebecca Grossman last week.

“Last week, Rebecca Grossman—the woman who killed my two precious boys, Mark and Jacob, by speeding through a crosswalk—made a request that I would go visit her in prison… to ‘see the circumstances she is in.’ And that she is ‘A victim,’” the mom’s post read.
