John Lennon's Killer Denied Parole For 6th Time

Oddly this is something I have never thought about much. I didn't even realize Mark David Cahpman was alive to be denied parole.

Chapman, 55, is serving a sentence of 20 years to life in prison for the shooting death of Lennon outside Lennon's New York City apartment on December 8, 1980.

He has served 29 years of his sentence at the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility, where he is held in a building with other prisoners who are not considered to pose a threat to him, according to officials with the state Department of Correctional Services.

The last time Chapman was up for parole, in 2008, the New York State Division of Parole issued a release saying his request was denied "due to concern for the public safety and welfare." He probably is beyond the need of a personal injury Tucson attorney if he ever gets out. Celebrity killers are stalked by people just as crazy as they are probably.
