Rebecca Grossman, who was convicted over the 2020 hit-and-run deaths of two young brothers in California, has reportedly struck a secret settlement that reduces her personal share of a $200 million payout owed to the victims' family. The arrangement has drawn criticism from her boyfriend, former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson, who has publicly objected to the deal, suggesting a rift over how the financial liability is being handled following her conviction.

Full details of the settlement's terms were not disclosed in the available report, but it centres on Grossman's contribution towards the multimillion-dollar sum awarded to the family of the boys killed in the crash. Erickson's public criticism points to disagreement, either within Grossman's camp or with those overseeing the payout, about the fairness or transparency of how her financial obligations have been restructured.
