Lennon Killer is Ashamed
Parole officials released the transcripts of John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman’s latest hearing last week. The assassin reportedly told officials during his latest unsuccessful bid for release that he was ashamed and sorry for killing the former Beatle and that he has come to realize the gravity of what he did over the years. He says “I recognized that that 25-year-old man, I don’t think he really appreciated the life that he was taking, that this was a human being. I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is. I have changed a lot.” Chapman has been in prison for nearly 28 years. He was sentenced to 20 years to life after pleading guilty to the murder. The denial of his parole means that he has to stay in jail for at least 2 more years.
