Samuel James Cooper was convicted on five counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of five people. His trial lasted more than a month, there were 52 state witnesses and 11 defense witnesses. Defense attorneys argued that Samuel Cooper suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder but the state argued that Cooper is a cold-blooded serial killer who was deliberate in the crimes.

Superior Court Judge Henry Hight sentenced Samuel James Cooper to life in prison without the
possibilty of parole.
