Parole Board in Albany Makes Ruling on Man who Murdered John Lennon
Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon back in 1980 is currently locked up inside Green Haven Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in Upstate New York - hoping one day to be a free man.
"I assassinated him ... because he was very, very, very famous and that’s the only reason and I was very, very, very, very much seeking self-glory." -Mark David Chapman on why he killed John Lennon
Back In 2000, according to sources, Chapman became eligible for parole, and every few years the subject comes up - and each time, he's been denied.
Last month, Chapman went before the parole board in Albany, and according to the State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), they once again decided on the madman's future.
The murder took place outside of John Lennon's apartment in NYC back in 1980.
On the night of December 8th, Mark David Chapman, 67, shot and killed John Lennon outside of his Manhatten apartment in 1980, as the Beetles frontman and Yoko Ono were returning from an album release party earlier in the day.
In a cruel twist of fate, sources report that hours before the murder took place, Lennon had actually signed an autograph for Chapman during the album release of “Double Fantasy,” earlier that day.

Throughout the years, it's been reported that Chapman has expressed remorse for the slaying, even calling his own actions "despicable" back in 2020.
On Monday, according to a report in Rolling Stone Magazine, the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said, “Following an interview with the Board of Parole on August 31, 2022, Mr. Chapman was denied release with a hold of 18 months. His next appearance date is scheduled for February 2024.”
It's the 12th time that Chapman’s attempt at parole has been denied.
