Hi, Vic,
I hope he's truly sorry too and not just saying the words. He should
stay behind bars. Who knows who he'll kill next if he gets out.

John Lennon's Killer Denied Parole
ALBANY, N.Y. John Lennon's killer will remain behind bars after being
denied
parole for the ninth time. The New York state Board of Parole on Monday
announced
that it has again denied parole to Mark David Chapman, who on Dec. 8, 1980,
shot and killed the former Beatle outside his luxury Manhattan apartment.
The
61-year-old Chapman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving a
sentence of 20 years to life in Wende Correctional Facility in western New
York. In a description of its decision, the parole board noted that Chapman
has since described the murder as "selfish and evil. The board concluded
that
the factors supporting Chapman's parole were outweighed by the premeditated
and "celebrity-seeking" nature of the crime. "Your release would be
incompatible
with the welfare of society and would so deprecate that seriousness of the
crime as to undermine respect for the law," the board wrote. Chapman was
notified
of the board's decision last week. He was last denied parole in 2014, and
will be eligible to seek parole again in 2018. In his 2014 parole hearing,
Chapman
told the board that he still gets letters about the pain he caused in his
pursuit of notoriety. "I am sorry for causing that type of pain," he said.
"I
am sorry for being such an idiot and choosing the wrong way for glory. At a
2010 hearing, Chapman recalled that he had considered shooting Johnny
Carson
or Elizabeth Taylor instead, and said again that he chose Lennon because
the
ex-Beatle was more accessible, that his century-old apartment building by
Central Park "wasn't quite as cloistered. The transcript of his latest
hearing wasn't immediately released.
