The man who murdered John Lennon almost 30 years ago is going before the parole board at Attica Correctional Facility for the 6th time in the first week in August.
He has been denied in 2000,2002,2004,2006. Security concerns have denied him parole saying he is still a threat to the public.
Apparently Mark David Chapman has a job in the prison library,is married and recieves conjugal visits from his wife,Gloria. Check out the link below....
It's very, very rare that an offender who commits one of the most violent crimes that can be commited can completely turn themselves around and wind up not being a threat to the public. How many times have we seen news stories where abductions, rapes, and murders are commited by people who have a history of violence, served time for a prior crime, got out, and did it again? I say keep him locked up.
Excellent point 420. He didn't kill some random stranger. He killed John Lennon,one of the most revered songwriters of our generation. Not to mention he's going to be hunted down like a dog if he DID get parole.
Okay,I'd like to stop being irritated about this but when people email me pdf. of Chapman's parole hearing [redacted] it brings it back that he murderded JOHN LENNON and fully admits he was looking to kill someone famous.....I have a hard time letting go.
Here's a link...and it has a link to the pdf.Read it and weep.
