A judge on Monday sentenced a California philanthropist to 15 years to life in prison for murdering two children in a hit-and-run collision in a crosswalk while she was driving a Mercedes sport utility vehicle at more than 80 miles an hour, prosecutors said.

The woman, Rebecca Grossman, 60, of Hidden Hills, Calif., west of Los Angeles, was convicted in February of two counts of murder, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death, prosecutors said.

Evidence presented at Ms. Grossman’s trial indicated that she had accelerated to 81 miles per hour from 73 m.p.h. just two seconds before she hit the two children, Mark Iskander, 11, and his brother, Jacob, 8, in a 45-m.p.h. zone in Westlake Village, Calif., on the evening of Sept. 29, 2020, Los Angeles County prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum.

Ms. Grossman also drank alcohol and took Valium before driving “to the point that she was impaired,” the memorandum said.

After Ms. Grossman struck the boys, she did not return to the scene or call 911, prosecutors wrote. She later claimed that Mr. Erickson had hit the children, even though there was “not a shred of evidence to prove this to be true,” prosecutors wrote.
