Lennon Killer Denied Parole
Mark David Chapman rebuffed in third bid for Attica release

OCTOBER 5--For the third time in four years, John Lennon's killer was today denied parole. A New York State Parole Commission panel voted unanimously to keep Mark David Chapman, 49, locked up at the Attica Correctional Facility, where he is serving a sentence of 20 years to life for the 1980 killing. In its decision, the three-member panel cited Chapman's "extreme malicious intent" in the shooting of the ex-Beatle and noted that Chapman had "subjected the wife of the victim to monumental suffering by her witnessing the crime." In opposing Chapman's release, Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow, resubmitted a letter she drafted when the killer first petitioned for release in 2000. Below you will find the parole commission decision released late this afternoon. Chapman, who was first denied release in October 2000 and then again in 2002, is eligible again for a parole review in October 2006.

You just know that if he ever gets out he won't last very long. Very, very sad all the way around.

I can't I say I feel sorry for the guy either.

[radioguy]

i don't feel for the guy but, not being a beatles fan, what's the big deal? so another person that was up for parole didn't get it. he's just like every other person up for parole except he killed somebody that the world loved and did it maliciously. is that why people are so into him not receiving parole?

*****i'm not trying to be an ass, i just don't get it*****

I think you hit the nail on the head. The dude just straight capped a guy who said all you need is love.

He killed a guy that alot of people, including me, felt very close to because of the music he created. It doesn't seem that hard to get to me.

His ass should stay in there for good, screw the parole hearings and make him suffer.

you get it because you cared about lennon for some reason. his music never affected me. it just seems that this man, the killer, gets a lot of media attention because of who he killed. wouldn't you rather see him rot away and get no attention whatsoever?
