You know what's heartbreaking? 2 little boys lives cut short.
She never took responsibility for anything. Her sentence better be CONSECUTIVE not CONCURRENT.
Rebecca Grossman kills two young kids. Doesn’t stay on the scene and blames others. All while refusing to apologize. These people really don’t care for anyone but their own.
Her daughter is just as evil blaming the family for putting her mother behind bars and not one time has the Grossman family made any attempt at apologizing really speaks volumes on how sick and twisted these losers are!
After delaying for over 3 years she got her karma. The fact she never took responsibility will be taken into account when sentencing .
The daughter “oh my god, oh my god” lol. Dude your mom was cheating on your dad, drove home racing her drunk bf drunk to have sex before you guys got home, and killed two kids. Like, did you think your mom was not going to get some type of repercussions for that smh. The level of entitlement is crazy. Edit: imagine all the embarrassment she’s brought her husband who will have to foot the bill when the children’s parent sue the Grossman family.
We live in such a jaded world that people refuse to stand up and apologize for Killing 2 children!I feel for that family!!! ❤️
The Grossman's are so disconnected from the pain they have caused the family of the two little boys. The weathy often consider certain segments of the citizenry expendable.
Grossman she probably thought she wouldn’t be convicted. Glad justice was served!
"It's now time for justice to be served." That's right. I can't believe she was out on bail for more than 3 years. She got a couple of years of freedom that her victims did not.
The daughter will be the next one in trouble. The privileged attitude got her mother and she is heading down the same road.
She’s an absolute monster
Time to sue her financially.
Her actions were egregious, and to deny she was even driving or hit the children. They were precious children and she was driving drunk with her boyfriend. Rot in jail.
A huge civil lawsuit should be filed against Grossman as well! She should lose a great deal of wealth as well as her freedom.
Rich people cannot believe it when their money cannot fix everthing. The daughter is cross with the judicual system for finding her GUILTY mother guilty.
Sounds like she was raised rich and entitled. Her behavior indicates she would throw anyone under the bus to save herself.
When the judge sentences Grossman he will definitely take into account that email! Rebecca Grossman you are your own worst enemy!
She never even apologized?
9 men on the jury. They were probably under the impression those men would let this damsel in distress walk free.
