John Lennon killer Mark David Chapman denied parole for 6th time

David L'Creme Jr Filed Under:
John Lennon's killer will continue watching the wheels go round from behind bars after being denied parole Tuesday for a sixth time.

Mark David Chapman met with a three-member Parole Board panel at the Attica Correctional Facility via video conference.

Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after he was convicted of shooting the ex-Beatle four times outside his apartment on Dec. 8, 1980. He has served nearly 30 years of his sentence.

Chapman is next eligible to try for parole in two years. He was first eligible for parole in 2000.


Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, had reiterated her desire to the Parole Board that Chapman be kept behind bars.

Lennon, who would have turned 70 next month, was shot to death by Chapman while returning to his famed Dakota building apartment across from Central Park after a late-night recording session
