   LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A 17-year-old boy who was behind the wheel   
   of a Lamborghini when it collided with an innocent woman's   
   vehicle two months ago appeared in juvenile court on Friday and   
   admitted to felony vehicular manslaughter.   
      
   The boy, who has not been publicly identified because he is a   
   minor, was remanded to house arrest and will wear an ankle   
   monitor while he awaits sentencing. He is expected to return to   
   court on June 30 for a disposition setting hearing.   
      
   "What we want, as far as justice is concerned, we want him to go   
   to prison and understand the consequences of his doing," said   
   the uncle of the victim, Monique Muñoz, outside the courthouse   
   on Friday. "I want his father to feel his son gone for years --   
   because Monique is gone for life."   
      
   Fellow demonstrators called out in response: "Amen!" "Yes!"   
      
   The uncle, Richard Cartier, was joined by supporters who held   
   signs that said "Justice for Monique!" and "Adult car, adult   
   conviction," and depicted a memorial portrait of her. They   
   expressed anger that the teenage defendant was not prosecuted as   
   an adult.   
      
   In an interview with ABC7 on Friday, Los Angeles County District   
   Attorney George Gascón was asked about the decision to not try   
   the 17-year-old as an adult.   
      
   "One of the commitments that I made when I ran for office, and I   
   was very clear, is that we would follow the science and data,"   
   Gascon said. "And when it came to juveniles, we will not refer   
   juveniles to adult court.   
      
   "The reality is that the human brain is not fully developed   
   until we're in our mid-20s," the DA said. "Frankly, the 18-year-   
   old threshold is an arbitrary legal threshold."   
      
   Charges were filed in the case on April 7 after Los Angeles   
   County district attorney's office completed its investigation.   
      
   Shortly before the collision, prosecutors claimed in court, the   
   teenager had been "racing" with a female friend and swerving in   
   and out of lanes, the Los Angeles Times reported. The   
   Lamborghini reached a speed of 106 mph when it hit Munoz, nearly   
   splitting her vehicle in two, according to prosecutors.   
      
   A defense attorney strongly denied that the defendant had been   
   "racing."   
      
   Muñoz, 32, of Hawthorne, was driving home from work shortly   
   after 5 p.m. on Feb. 17 when a black Lamborghini SUV collided   
   with her Lexus sedan, police said. Her car was demolished in the   
   crash.   
      
   Los Angeles Fire Department firefighter-paramedics responded to   
   the scene, where Muñoz was pronounced dead, police said.   
      
   The 17-year-old driver of the Lamborghini was hospitalized   
   following the crash, police said. He was booked for vehicular   
   manslaughter on Feb. 23, the Los Angeles Police Department said.   
      
   Investigators say the teen was driving at a high rate of speed   
   at the time of impact.
