A Los Angeles jury has ordered California socialite Rebecca Grossman to pay $21 million in punitive damages to the parents of two young brothers who died when her car struck them in a hit-and-run collision in 2020. Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson must also pay $1.17 million in punitive damages. That is in addition to the $176 million in damages for wrongful death and emotional distress that a jury awarded last week to the parents of 11-year-old Mark Iskander and 8-year-old Jacob Iskander. Jurors found Grossman and Erickson negligent in the boys' deaths. Attorneys for the parents said Grossman and Erickson had been drinking and were driving recklessly when Grossman’s car struck the boys. Defense attorneys denied those claims.

The U.S. military says it’s begun another round of strikes against Iran. U.S. Central Command said in a social media post that the military is striking “multiple targets in Iran” and that it’s being done “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.” The second day of American strikes comes hours after Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan — all of which host U.S. troops — came under Iranian fire. They also come a day after the U.S. struck Iran following the crash of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz that U.S. President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.
