A 17 year-old who crashed a Lamborghini his dad gave him into a secretary's car at 100mph and killed her has been sentenced to just seven to nine months at a juvenile camp.
Brendan Khuri, who son of millionaire James Khuri, 46, was behind the wheel of the Urus SUV racing with his girlfriend at 100mph when it crashed into Monique Munoz on February 17, killing her, and was ordered to the prison camp at his sentencing on Thursday.
He began his stint in custody six months after he pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence in Inglewood Juvenile Court in April. But Brendan's defense argued that he should serve the majority of his sentence in probation at his family's mansion, outraging prosecutors.

Psychologist Karen Schiltz, who testified before the Los Angeles County Superior Court, said Brendan likely suffered from autism his entire life but was never diagnosed and that he would be 'victimized' if he were to be held in an LA County juvenile camp.

'House arrest in a mansion is not punishment,' Cynthia Crespin, Munoz's cousin, said in court last week. 'He took an innocent life in a careless and senseless way.'
Munzo had been trapped in the wreckage following the crash and died at the scene, the LA Police Department said. Munzo had been preparing to start law school.
Her friends and family have lashed out at the handling of the case, saying the teen has been treated differently because of his dad's wealth and status.
