NANCY ISKANDER SIT DOWNS FOR FIRST TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE SENTENCING OF THE WOMAN WHO KILL H KILLED HER TWO SONS. >>> THIS IS NBC4 NEWS AT 6:00. >>> WE BEGIN WITH NANCY ISKANDER MAKING HER OPINIONS OF REBECCA GROSSMAN VERY CLEAR, AND ALSO SHARING THE MEANINGFUL WAYS SHE IS GOING TO HONOR HER BOYS. GOOD EVENING. I'M CAROLYN JOHNSON. >> I'M ROBERT KOVACIK, AND JOHNATHAN SAT DOWN WITH HER, AND IT IS A STORY YOU WILL ONLY SEE ON 4. >> IT HAS BEEN NEARLY FOUR YEARS SINCE THE TWO BROTHERS JOHNATHAN AND JACOB ISKANDER WERE KILLED. AND REBECCA GROSSMAN WAS ACCUSED OF MURDER IN THE HIT-AND-RUN MURDERS OF JOHNATHAN AND JACOB. BUT NOW NANCY ISKANDER SAYS SHE IS DISAPPOINTED OF THE POSSIBLE SENTENCE OF MORE THAN DOUBLE OF THE 15 YEARS SHE WAS SENTENCED. >> Reporter: NANCY, IT IS NEARLY FOUR YEARS THAT JACOB AND MARK WERE TAKEN FROM YOU, AND REBECCA GROSSMAN WAS SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS, AND WAS JUSTICE SERVED YESTERDAY? >> IT WAS A STAB IN THE HEART TO COUNT BOTH BOYS AS ONE. WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU TELLING THE PUBLIC? IT IS OKAY TO HIT-AND-RUN, AND I MIGHT AS WELL HIT THEM AND RUN, AND MAYBE I HAVE A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THAN STAY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE THE HIT-AND-RUN, IT WILL BE RUN CONCURRENTLY, AND ANY SENTENCE FOR THE HIT-AND-RUN. THAT IS MY TAKE ON IT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT CHANGE IT. BUT I'D LIKE MR. BRANDOLINO TO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT FAIR. >> I PROMISE THAT I HAVE DO NOT HAVE ANY HATE FOR HER. >> Reporter: FOLLOWING THE VERDICT, YOU SHOWED SO MUCH GRACE AND THEN ALMOST ASKING FOR LENIENCY, AND THEN YOU CHANGED, AND WHAT CHANGED? >> SHE WAS CREATED BY THE SAME GOD THAT CREATED ME. I LOVE HER, AND I LOVE HER FAMILY, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY HATRED, BUT THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM SEEKING JUSTICE, RIGHT? I CONTINUE TO LOVE THEM, BUT SHE ON THE OTHER HAND IS NOT WANTING TO SHOW ME MERCY. >> SHE HAS NEVER SHOWN YOU ANY REMORSE, YOU SAY. >> NEVER, NEVER. >> SHE HAS NEVER APOLOGIZED? >> SHE HAS SAID I AM SORRY MANY TIME, AND I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THE LOSS OF YOUR KIDS. I AM SORRY THAT YOUR KIDS DIED. THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE AROUND ME TELLS ME, THAT I AM SORRY THAT I KILLED THEM. THAT MEANS SHE IS EXTREMELY STRUGGLING WITH THE FACT THAT SHE DID IT. >> I KNOW THAT THERE IS ONE OF THE JURORS WHO LEFT THEIR BADGE AT THE MEMORIAL FOR MARK AND JACOB FOLLOWING THE VERDICT A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND WHAT IS THAT COLLECTIVE SUPPORT THAT YOU TALK ABOUT, AND WHAT HAS THAT MEANT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? >> IT MEANS SO MUCH, AND IT ALMOST MEANS AS MUCH AS JUSTY, BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE GIVE YOU THEIR HEART, THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU DONE NOTHING WRONG. THAT YOU ARE IN THE SITUATION, BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WRONGDOING OR RECKLESSNESS. SO THEY GIVE YULOU ALL, AND THA MEANS SO MUCH. >> Reporter: AND FOR THIS ISKANDER FAMILY, THEY CAN NOW FOCUS ON THE NEW FOSTER CARE AG AGENCY. >> WHEN MARK RAN FOR STUDENT COUNCIL, HE SAID THAT I WILL MAKE THIS YEAR THE BEST YEAR AT SCHOOL, AND MARK MY WORD, THAT WHIZ PLAN. SO I LIKE TO USE THAT, "MARK MY WORD." I WILL TURN THIS TRAGEDY INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IN THIS WORLD IF THEY WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE, AND IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED OR HAD KIDS OR BEEN DOCK NOW, NOW IT IS ON ME, TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE. IT IS A LOT, BUT I AM READY. I AM READY. I HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WITH ME. WE'LL DO IT. >> Reporter: ABSOLUTELY. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL. >> MARK MY WORD. >> Reporter: THIS OCTOBER, THE MARK AND JACOB ISKANDER IS GOING TO HAVE A FOUNDATION EVENT TO MARK THEIR EVENT, AND CAROLYN AND ROBERT, THERE WAS A COLLECTIVE OUTRAGE OVER THE SENTENCING, BUT THEY ARE DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE FAITH, AND TH THANKFUL TO THE COMMUNITY, AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO HAVE REACHED OUT, AND IT IS INCRED
