Meanwhile, Rebecca’s defense team recently argued that Erickson's black Mercedes SUV was the vehicle that struck the boys – not Rebecca’s white Mercedes.
Both Erickson and Rebecca are accused of consuming alcohol at a nearby restaurant before Rebecca pursued Erickson as they sped past the crosswalk on Triunfo Canyon Road at Saddle Mountain Drive while Nancy Iskander was crossing with her three sons.
The socialite reportedly registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.076% in her breathalyzer test following the crash. Traces of Valium were also reportedly found in her bloodstream.
When questioned by Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Ryan Gould about why she had not informed the deputy on the scene about spotting Erickson in hiding, Alexis Grossman expressed regret.
“I wish I had because, if I had, we wouldn’t be here right now,” Alexis lamented on Friday.
