John Lennon’s murderer has been denied parole for the ninth time. Mark Chapman, who shot the Beatles legend in New York City on December 1, 1980, met earlier this month with a three board parole committee who has extended his prison term for at least another three years. Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life for killing Lennon and has been housed in the Wende Correctional Facility in Western New York. Despite apologizing publicly for the killing and earning several recommendations of release, he has also had various outcries from those opposing his parole. Once such claim has come from Yoko Ono, who has allegedly submitted depositions claiming that she still fears for her own safety and that of her children should Chapman make parole. Chapman has reportedly been held in protective custody within the prison for years. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
