Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson testifies during a damages phase after a jury found him and his former lover liable for the 2020 car crash that killed two brothers in a Westlake Village crosswalk. Both outlets report that Erickson says he has little remaining of the money he earned during his Major League Baseball career, arguing that additional damages would be financially difficult to pay. The testimony comes as jurors consider whether to award further punishment or damages against Erickson in the aftermath of the liability ruling. The case focuses on civil liability tied to the crash deaths, and the current proceeding centers on financial consequences rather than whether the defendants caused the deaths. In their accounts, the outlets highlight Erickson’s claim that his prior earnings—described as “millions”—are mostly gone, while the jury weighs what further amounts, if any, should be imposed.
