The only adult at the home that day was 34-year-old Gabrielle Marshall, and she admitted to police that her child had gotten into her opiates.
Marshall pleaded guilty to the murder charge and a child abuse charge in April.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Marshall's sentence Monday.
Marshall is set to serve 11 and a half years in prison, and the prison sentence will be followed by 10 years' probation.
