Mark Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon in 1980, has had another parole bid refused. This was his fourth attempt at parole but now he’ll be staying in the Attica Correctional Facility in New York for at least 2 more years. The prison panel concluded that:
“The panel remains concerned about the bizarre nature of this premeditated and violent crime. While the panel notes your satisfactory institutional adjustment, due to the extremely violent nature of the offence your release would not be in the best interest of the community.”
