The two kids tragically lost their lives due to this hit from Grossman’s white colored SUV. The prosecutors have alleged that she was challenged to a car race by Erickson. She would later quickly flee the scene, which led to hear being charged with hit-and-run, vehicle manslaughter and second-degree murder.

Attorney Tony Buzbee would blame Erickson and the police for their sub-par investigation. The defense also claimed that it was Erickson’s car that hit the kids before their bodies touched the vehicle of Grossman.

The police are prosecuting the wrong person. Mr. Erickson stopped his vehicle, he hid in the bushes, watching what the police were doing. He went to Mr. Grossman's house and said some very inflammatory things, and then went home.
Tony Buzbee accuses Scott Erickson for the incident as per Marca.

Buzbee would stun the court by giving a description fit of Erickson and asking the witnesses whether they had seen any person hiding in the bushes. However, no witnesses reported seeing a figure who matched his description.

As the trial goes on, social media has come forward in support of the Iskander family. For the time being, Grossman is free on a massive $2 million surety bond. If the charges against her convicted, she could face upto 34 years in prison.

Only time will now tell how this trial goes on from here. Many people are keeping their eyes close to this case while waiting for further updates in the upcoming future.
