The defense attorney argued that investigators never checked Erickson’s black Mercedes SUV for damage, despite witnesses seeing him drive through the marked crosswalk just before Grossman. A photo of a 2016 Mercedes-AMG, acquired by Erickson in May 2019, was presented, raising questions about the investigation’s thoroughness.

The defense attorney criticized the media’s coverage, stating that actual witnesses don’t support the press narrative. As the trial progresses, it remains crucial to see how the court handles the complex issues and ensures justice for the tragic loss of the two young boys.
