John Lennon's Killer Denied Parole
Wednesday August 13, 2008
On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot ex-Beatles rock musician John Lennon in the back outside his New York apartment building. After shooting Lennon, Chapman pulled out a copy of The Catcher in the Rye from his pocket and read it until the police arrived. Lennon was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead.
Chapman was charged with second degree murder and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. He has spent most of his time at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York. Since 2000, Chapman has come up for parole every two years. In August 2008, Chapman was once again up for parole but it was denied.
