Last week, Mark David Chapman was denied parole for a seventh straight time since serving the minimum of his 20 year to life sentence for shooting Beatle John Lennon. That seems to be what he wants. The convicted killer says that if were granted parole he would “probably stay right where I’m at.”
Do you remember the cold winter night of December 8th 1981? It was the day that John Lennon was shot in cold blood and murdered by Mark David Chapman. He just got denied parole ironically the day before his 31st anniversary of being sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for the murder.
It’s unfortunate, but the name of Mark David Chapman will continually be mentioned in the same breath of John Lennon, as the man who shot and killed the Beatles legend returns to the headlines every few years when his parole hearing comes up.
Do you remember? Hard to believe more than 30 years have gone by, but it was on this date back in 1981 that Mark David Chapman submitted a guilty plea for the murder of John Lennon. Chapman was charged with second degree murder.
