It is alleged that he spent money on clearing his online reputation. The man paid experts to flood articles (from late 2020 to early 2021) that linked him to the case.

After a backlash from people, the tycoon apologized to Monique's family through his Instagram page for employing a public relations agency to alter the accident's narrative.

An LAPD detective assured the public that the authorities would also investigate the street racing incident separately. The Audi was not involved in the accident but was found at the scene.

Brendan Khuri's update

What happened to James Khuri's son? Munoz's uncle, Richard Cartier, objected to him being put under house arrest amid the protests and trial, in vain. James' attorney, Mark Werksman, opposed the prosecutors' request to have Brendan sent to a juvenile camp.

He stated the teen sustained brain injuries and was diagnosed with autism, attention deficit disorder, and depression after the crash. Therefore, having him at a juvenile center for seven to nine months was a wrong decision.

Also, Karen Schiltz (psychologist) told the Los Angeles County Superior Court that Brendan would be victimized if held at the LA County juvenile camp. She argued that he must have suffered autism his entire life but was never diagnosed.
