Los Angeles socialite Rebecca Grossman was accompanied by her daughter and husband as she headed to jury selection in her hit-and-run trial.
Grossman, 60, is accused of hitting two young boys, Jacob Iskander, 8, and Mark Iskander, 11, while driving drunk, killing them in 2020.
She faces two counts of second-degree murder for their deaths and could receive up to 34 years in prison for her alleged role.
Grossman was seen on Friday walking arm in arm with her plastic surgeon husband, Peter, and her daughter.
The family of three appeared dejected as they headed to the Nuys West courthouse for the second day of jury selection.
Grossman, who hid behind a mask, wore a dark blue patterned shirt with a black sweater over it and had her hair noticeably pulled back in an updo. She accessorized with a pair of kitten heels and a small black bag.

Her husband showed up for the second day of court, wearing a tan jacket that matched his tie with a light blue button-down shirt and dark pants. He also wore a mask, while her daughter opted for a thick gray sweater and black pants and tied her blonde hair in a braid, sans mask.
Grossman has been accused of racing her former MLB lover Scott Erickson, who was in another car at the time of the fatal crash.
The socialite was allegedly driving at 81 mph and lost 0.076%.
She maintains she did not hit the children, but her grieving mother, Nancy Iskander, said the two cars were traveling at “crazy” speed. Nancy herself was nearly hit, but she managed to grab her then five-year-old son Zachery and move out of the way.
After the children were hit, Mark was thrown more than 250 feet, killing him. Jacob died hours later in the hospital.

“They zigzagged with each other as if they were playing or competing,” he told the Los Angeles Times.
The couple, who were reportedly in a relationship at the time, had been drinking at a nearby restaurant before the accident. Grossman was also found to have Valium in his blood.
The court will be able to show jurors that the surgeon’s wife was in the middle of a love affair with Erickson at the time of the accident, according to a recent ruling by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino.

“They did not stop at the intersection. They did not stop when an 11-year-old boy was on the hood of the car. Nobody stopped,” Nancy said.
Erickson was charged with a misdemeanor and his case was resolved in February 2022.
The socialite also faces two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of hit and run resulting in death.
Rebecca is currently free on $2 million bail and faces 34 years in prison if convicted.
