In a case that has captivated and horrified the public, a California socialite has been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the 2020 hit-and-run deaths of two young brothers. Rebecca Mitchell, once a prominent figure in Los Angeles' elite social circles, was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident after fatally striking 8-year-old Jacob and 10-year-old Ethan Martinez. The tragedy unfolded on a quiet suburban street, where the brothers were playing outside their home.
