    Nancy Iskander and her husband Karim leave Van Nuys Courthouse during a lunch break from a preliminary hearing for Rebecca Grossman who is charged with murder and other counts stemming from a crash in Westlake Village that left the Iskander's sons Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, dead.

    LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has taken the highly unusual step of removing the prosecutors who convicted Rebecca Grossman of double murder, outraging the parents of the two young boys she killed in a Westlake Village crosswalk.

    Dist. Atty. George Gascón's office replaced prosecutors Jamie Castro, Ryan Gould and their supervisor, Garrett Dameron, after they began preparing a motion to remove Grossman's new attorney, James Spertus, because of a conflict of interest, according to an email by one of the prosecutors to his bosses.

    Spertus also represents Asst. Dist. Atty. Diana Teran, a top advisor to Gascón recently charged with 11 felonies in connection with the illegal use of confidential sheriff's records. Spertus has denied any wrongdoing by Teran.
