Chapman denied parole

This is the sixth time that John's killer has not been granted parole. He will be up again in 2012.

Excerpt:
After the decision on Tuesday, the board wrote to Mr. Chapman, 55, that it remained concerned about “the disregard you displayed for the norms of our society and the sanctity of human life when, after careful planning, you traveled to New York for the sole purpose of killing John Lennon.”

“Release remains inappropriate at this time and incompatible with the welfare of the community,” the panel said.
