Navarro, who was 20 at the time of the crash, could have faced as much as 45 years to life in prison. But Superior Court Judge Laura Laesecke said she believed Navarro could still be an asset to the community.Navarro was driving a 2002 Toyota Sequoia southbound on Country Club Drive and failed to make a turn, according to Long Beach police. Instead, he drove onto the sidewalk and hit the family as they were walking home after a night of trick-or-treating, authorities said.
