EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A former University of Oregon student who killed his landlord was sentenced Tuesday in Eugene to life in prison.

The Register-Guard reports (http://is.gd/KO0vS6 ) 25-year-old Miguel Angel Chavez will be eligible to apply for parole after 25 years.

His defense lawyer said Chavez was mentally ill in December 2010 when he killed 55-year-old Deborah Ann Stone at the home where he rented a room.

Chavez had initially tried a mental illness defense before pleading guilty last month.
