I doubt a judge or a jury is going to look at it that way. He just as easily could have killed anyone else but his friend, and I don't think either event should be punished more or less than the other. He broke the law and killed another human being in the process (his friend, coincidentally). He should (in theory) receive the same sentence as if he had killed a person in another car. If anything he should be locked up for the maximum sentence to protect society.
