US EditionJohn Lennon’s killer denied parole for 14th time
Mark David Chapman, serving a 20-years-to-life sentence, was denied parole again despite expressing remorse; his next hearing is scheduled for February 2027, officials said.
- Mark David Chapman fatally shot John Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment on the night of December 8, 1980.
- Earlier that day, Lennon autographed a copy of his newly released album, Double Fantasy, for Chapman before the shooting occurred.
- Chapman was arrested within minutes near the scene while holding a copy of J.D. Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, and he has since expressed remorse for his actions.
- Three years ago, Chapman admitted to a parole board that he was fully aware his actions were wrong and malicious, but his intense desire for notoriety drove him to sacrifice everything, including taking another person's life.
- New York prison authorities have rejected Chapman's parole request for the 14th time following his August 27 hearing; he remains incarcerated at Green Haven, a facility located just north of New York City, where he is serving an indeterminate sentence of 20 years to life.
