It seems to be some sort of "Bait and Switch" motion, behind the scenes. This merits review. I worry about the implications here...

I'm a bit late to the game here, but maybe the judge let her retain her phone privileges to give her enough room to hang herself, so to speak. All calls are recorded so maybe her entitled self will say something that will bury her and any hope of an appeal.

I attached an update from "Justice for Mark and Jacob Iskander" page on the Nextdoor app. Apparently, the outrage from the supporters of the Iskander family was heard. The prosecutors have been re-instated. It is not formal yet, and there will be a hearing on May 17, 2024 to address the "Conflict of Interest" issue.
Maybe I will just post a link. I can't seem to upload the photo.

So does this mean everything is back on track (including the sentencing date) with only one change, the post conviction trial attorney?

Yes. As far as I know. I am updating this site from the local information on Nextdoor, that has a postings "Justice for Mark and Jacob Iskander". They also have a Facebook page.
The local people in Westlake, CA are following this case very closely, and have been an amazing resource and support group for the Iskander family.
Thank god! It seemed so outrageous. So dirty.

I agree. I guess the old saying "money talks" is true in some cases. Let's hope it's not in THIS case!

The "rest of the story" Grossman has hired an attorney for her appeal who is also an attorney for D.A. Teran, who supervises the prosecutors in the Grossman trial. That is the "conflict of interest".
My question is, if it is such a "conflict of interest" why did the attorney, James Spertus, take the Grossman appeal case? Why didn't he state that ethically it would be a conflict of interest? Why did Grossman specifically seek out this one attorney? After all, her former team of attorneys were from Texas.

A menacing and premeditated plan to sink the prosecution by hiring this conflict of interest.
We can see the levels that the Grossmans are willing drop to try to derail the sentencing.
Right! Why would the conflict of interest impact the prosecution? Why not the defense? I really wish this could be covered on Court TV and have attorneys explain this. It’s wild.The "rest of the story" Grossman has hired an attorney for her appeal who is also an attorney for D.A. Teran, who supervises the prosecutors in the Grossman trial.

She is obviously fighting for her life. I mean maybe I get it. If I had all the money in the world, and no conscience, I guess I’d try the same thing. In the meantime, I hope every minute of her existence in the “medical ward” of jail is miserable.

what a mess.
I do hope for the same thing...one of the many different court / crime shows should cover this to better explain some orf the details....
As always, "money talks and some walk".....
How deliberate was this move to hire the attorney....
I hope, if anyone does see one of the court shows covering it, please broadcast loud and clear....

Why is she in the medical ward? Probably a "scam" to get out of her cell block.

Mom of two boys mowed down by LA socialite Rebecca Grossman lashes out
Nancy Iskander slammed her son's killer Rebecca Grossman for her lack of 'mercy' following the deaths of her sons Mark and Jacob Iskander in the horrific hit and run.
Nancy Iskander speaks so deeply from the heart and her pain and anger is so real.
"It feels so unfair not only to lose the kids but also to find yourself in the middle of a fight and with a person who wants to hurt you as much as possible in the middle of it," Iskander said."
Justice for the Iskander family, please.

I still think that there is more to this...but the court reviewed and approved "Conflict of Interest".
www.dailymail.co.uk
Next hearing is June 3, regarding a new trial motion, if that motion is denied, sentencing will be on June 10, 2024.
Rebecca Grossman asks court to approve lawyer despite conflict
Months being convicted of killing two young brothers in a crash, Rebecca Grossman was back in court assuring a judge she wants to keep her new attorney, even though he has a 'conflict of interest.'

I just have not been as tightly connected to all the proceedings, and am confused about the origins of the conflict of interest.
I'd agree. My hinky meter is off the chart with this. It is not an accident, it is a very clear ploy to delay or disqualify the prosecutor and upturn the sentencing into an appeal.
My guess is that the Grossman's also have an appeal of the appeal to an Appellate Court and probably the Supreme Court of California in mind.
This woman is still convicted of two murders and has shown no remorse or IMHO ethical behaviour in her trial.

I was always confused why the prosecutors should recuse, when it's the defense attorney hire that created the conflict, and the conflict would still be there (relation with Teran) even without those prosecutors.
