SUTTON, Chief Judge. Consumed by a toxic mixture of mental illness and drug addiction, Hunter Loos stabbed his mother to death, drove her body to a nearby trail, doused it with gasoline, and set her body on fire. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and the district court imposed a 240-month sentence. Finding no error, we affirm.
