John Lennon Killer Chapman Denied Parole for Eighth Time

John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, must stay in prison at least two more years because his actions devastated those who loved the former Beatle and he’s still likely to break the law if released, the New York state parole board ruled.
The board yesterday rejected the 59-year-old Chapman’s eighth parole request, saying granting it would be “incompatible with the welfare of society” and would “deprecate the serious nature of the crime as to undermine respect for the law.”
