Mark David Chapman

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.”

For the seventh time since being convicted of killing John Lennon, Mark David Chapman has been denied parole. The New York Department of Corrections announced the ruling this morning, meaning the man who shot the Beatle on December 8, 1980 will serve at least two more years in jail.

John Lennon’s murderer, Mark David Chapman, will meet with the parole board at Wende Correctional Facility in Alden this week. Chapman murdered the former Beatle outside his New York City apartment building,  The Dakota, on December 8, 1980.
