Isaac King, the man who pleaded guilty to killing Arizona Department of Public Safety Trooper Tyler Edenhofer in 2018, was sentenced on August 14, 2025. He received a total sentence of 35.5 years in prison, which includes 25 years for the murder and an additional 10.5 years for a separate case. The sentencing followed prosecutors' earlier announcement that they would seek the death penalty for the crime. The case drew attention as King appeared in court for the sentencing hearing. This development is part of broader criminal justice actions in the region, with other high-profile sentences including a California babysitter receiving 100 years to life for enabling child molestation and a man sentenced to 73 years for murders and arson linked to a deadly wildfire.
