It’s unfortunate, but the name of Mark David Chapman will continually be mentioned in the same breath of John Lennon, as the man who shot and killed the Beatles legend returns to the headlines every few years when his parole hearing comes up. Chapman will go before the parole board for the seventh time this week at New York State’s Department of Corrections. Department spokesperson Linda Foglia revealed that a decision on whether or not to grant his release will be made public by the end of the week. Chapman, who is now 57, is serving a prison sentence of 20 years to life for shooting the singer four times in the back outside of his New York apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. The inmate’s interview will take place before the parole board at Wende Correction Facility, a maximum-security prison in Alden, N.Y. where Chapman is being held. According to Reuters, the three-member parole board cited “[the] disregard you displayed for the norms of our society and the sanctity of human life” in written comments after Chapman’s 2010 hearing while denying the parole request. Prior to that hearing, the parole division received letters arguing against Chapman’s release, including one from Yoko Ono, who felt that he might pose a risk to herself and her sons if released. by: Chad Childers

Ubojica Johna Lennona neće biti pušten na uvjetnu slobodu Mark David Chapman, ubojica Johna Lennona, neće biti pušten iz zatvora na uvjetnu slobodu, odlučilo je u New Yorku tročlano povjerenstvo nakon razgovora s osuđenikom Ubojici Johna Lennona u utorak je po šesti put odbijena molba za pomilovanjem, tri mjeseca prije 30. godišnjice smrti bivšeg člana The Beatlesa, objavio je u srijedu CNN. Molbu Marka Davida Chapmana odbio je tročlani odbor za pomilovanja američke savezne države New Yorka. Odbor je u obrazloženju odluke naglasio "zabrinutost Chapmanovom iskazanom prilagodbom društvenim normama i poštovanjem nepovredivosti ljudskog života" te zaključio kako bi njegov izlazak na slobodu "u ovom trenutku bio neprikladan i suprotan dobrobiti zajednice". "The New York Daily News" objavio je kako je odbor za pomilovanja primio 75 pisama protiv Chapmanova puštanja, uključujući i ono Lennonove udovice, 77-godišnje Yoko Ono, koja je iskazala uvjerenost da Chapman predstavlja opasnost za nju, njezino dvoje djece, za javnost, pa čak i za samoga sebe. Mark David Chapman (55) služi od 20 godina do doživotne kazne zatvora za ubojstvo Johna Lennona ispred njegove zgrade u New Yorku 8. prosinca 1980. godine. Zatvorsku kaznu služi u zatvoru maksimalne sigurnosti Attica u New Yorku. Od 2000. svake dvije godine ima pravo podnijeti molbu za pomilovanje. Sljedeća mogućnost je 2012. godine.(hina/metro-portal)
