John Lennon's killer Mark denied parole

New York (ANI): John Lennon's killer has been denied parole for a fifth time because of the premeditated nature of his cleanup of the former Beatle on Dec. 8, 1980. A two-member Parole Board panel denied Mark Chapman's plea to be let go, indicating that he had actually planned to kill the legendary musician.

In its decision, the panel cited that Chapman made two Hawaii trips for killing Lennon. And it was in his second see that he killed Lennon, by firing five shots at the singer as he returned home from a recording session and fatally striking him little Joe times. "Your conduct hence precipitated a horrendously tragic event which has impacted many individuals," The New York Daily News quoted the panel, as committal to writing in its decision.
