John Lennon killer

[Maxwell]

This man is totally insane saying that John would like him to be set free. Lets hear no more from him and put him away for the rest of his life

[Harbidge]

I agree. He should rot in jail for eternity.

If he was released (God forbid) he wouldn't last outside long anyway before someone got their revenge, and he got his just deserts.

Here's the Yahoo story:

If he got out, he'd last about 5 minutes on the streets of New York, which is 5 minutes more than he deserves.

I'm surprised he has survived in prison so long. Even criminals dig the Beatles.

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

Jt, I know. I'm sure he has his own cell.

Personally, I think he should stay right where he is. As Jerry stated earlier, I agree that he wouldn't last 5 minutes outside.

That A Hole has a parole meeting on Tuesday and they had a story about him on Foxnews. May Pang was on there. They also said Yoko already released a statement that she didn't want him released. I doubt he will be released. He's trying to be wise saying he knew he was screwed up, thinking they will release him but he won't. Too many people would be after him.

Actually, you'd be surprised. I think there's over 10,000 mass murderers currently roaming free.
Not that HE was one of those, just as damaging, though.

I've just read the article on the latter link that Bearkat gave to us. It was a pretty saddening thing. Killing one of the most famous people on earth just to get noticed??? He's sick in the mind and should get the chair.

People feel so strongly about John Lennon and the Beatles that this nut would have more problems out of jail than in. Who would hire him for one? Also, many off the wall and violent people don't appreciate what he did.......

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

Don't forget to watch the profile on MDC on Oct 2 on Court TV. It is said that it has lots of John footage. There is an article about this in TV Guide. If I get time I'll post it.

Court TV to feature interview with Lennon's murderer (9/27/00) A press release issued Tuesday by Court TV (you can find audio and video clips at http://www.courttv.com/video/ (thanks to Susan Gagne for the link):

NEW YORK ...Sept. 26, 2000... Special Presentation of Mugshots, Airing the Evening of Mark David Chapman's Parole Hearing, Features an Exclusive Interview with the Convicted Killer
In a feature-length documentary, "Death of a Beatle," Court TV examines how music legend John Lennon's name became forever intertwined with that of Mark David Chapman, the deranged man that shot and killed him on December 8, 1980 outside his home in New York City.

The two-hour special airs October 2 at 10:00 p.m. in conjunction with Chapman's first parole hearing.

Chapman's history and motivations are explained through biographer Jack Jones, who has interviewed him extensively in the twenty years since Lennon's murder. For "Death of a Beatle," Jones recorded an exclusive interview with Chapman from Attica Prison in July of this year. In that interview, Chapman offers an apology to Lennon's family, claims that he is no longer mentally ill. He also states he should be released so he can tour the world playing his music.

The special tells Lennon's story through never before seen photographs and interviews with his close friends and collaborators - including Pete Best, the original drummer for the Beatles, Live Aid Promoter Harvey Goldsmith, musician and humorist Neal Innes and BBC Radio Personality Andy Peebles, who appears with clips from Lennon's last interview. The impact of Lennon's death is clear in an interview with a police officer who was at the scene and the surgeon who attempted to save Lennon's life.

Original music for "Death Of A Beatle" was composed by Lennon friend and collaborator Bill Hudson and performed by Hudson and members of The Knack.

"Death Of A Beatle" was produced by John Parsons Peditto and Burt Kearns for Parco International and Court TV, and executive produced by Anthony Horn of Court TV.

Sadly, one TV interview, and he'd be set for life.
I'm not sure he should be killed, I think that goes against everything John stood for. However, if he gets out. . .that would cause so much anger, so much hatred. . .that would also go against what John stood for.
Keep him in there, he's rather fortunate as it is.
I don't want to know anything about him, I don't want to hear his name, see his face, anything.
When I read about how John's life ended, although I was only a couple of months old at the time and didn't experience it, I still feel very emotional. I resent it. I'm grateful for everything that John Lennon gave us, it will last forever. . .but, surely our lives would have had that something extra to it, if he was still alive.
I guess he crammed a lot of life into those 40 years.
I could go on for hours, sorry about that.

I agree Lenmac. I sure hope they don't make a tv movie about him.

[bearkat77]

If he ever does get paroled and drops out of sight, he would have to stay that way for the rest of his life. As stated earlier, they are a lot of people out there that still resent what he did. If Yoko decides not to agree on a parole, she will gain some respect from me.

There was a program last night on BBC2 called Top of the Pops2. Is was hosted by Yoko and was a tribute to John. Some of the songs were his lesser known ones, but the 2 main songs, 'Imagine' and, 'Jealous Guy' were quite emotional. Cold Turkey was brilliant though. I hadn't heard it much before that and now it's a favourite of mine.

Back to the topic. Yoko has made a statement saying that she didn't want him released. I think, for his sake as well as ours, that life should mean life in his case.

Don't get bent out of shape about a parole hearing.It doesn't mean he's getting out by a long shot.
Look at the number of hearings Hinckley and Manson of had and have yet to get released.

Not many things sicken me, but the subject of MDC does. And to rub salt into the wounds, here's an actual news story from a national newspaper from England. Where MDC's name has been mentioned, I am going to use the initials as I never want to mention his name as I believe that when I do, it shows that he succeeded in his wish to be 'famous'.

Psycho plans tour singing about how he killed Lennon

The physco who shot John Lennon plans to tour America singing sixk ballads about the murder if he is released.
MC, who is seeking parole after serving 20 years, brags of his ambition in a documentary being touted around British TV stations.
But his wish to tour with a band has enraged the surviving Beatles and their families. A spokesman for Paul McCartney said, 'As far as we're concerned, this man does not exist.'
Lennon's cousin Stanley Parker, 67, who grew up with the star, stormed, 'This is horrendous. He should have been executed/'
And John's half-stster Julia Baird, 53, said, 'I can't think he would survive such a tour - he'd get lynched.'
The film features so-called, 'highlights' of over 3 hours of interviews with MC, 47, in jail in New York.

Stan's right. He should have been executed.

Frightened Yoko fights parole bid by Lennon's killer


YOKO ONO, the widow of John Lennon, has demanded that Mark Chapman, her husband's killer, should remain behind bars.
Chapman, who is kept in an isolation unit, is due to face his first parole hearing tomorrow after serving 20 years for killing the former Beatle in New York on December 8, 1980.

It is understood that Ono, despite being a campaigner for prisoners' rights, has written to the parole board at Attica prison in upstate New York, saying she wants Chapman kept in prison because she is concerned for her safety and that of Lennon's two sons, Sean and Julian.

Her fears were exacerbated after George Harrison, another former Beatle, was attacked in his home at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire nearly two years ago.

According to Elliot Mintz, her publicist, Ono had given a "great deal of time and consideration" to her letter to the parole board.

Jack Jones, a local reporter who is the only person Chapman allows to interview him, said neither of them has had any contact with Ono. Chapman has lost contact with lawyers and will appear before the parole board alone.

Jones said Chapman was "very anxious" and worried that publicity surrounding his case could jeopardise any chance of freedom.

"Mark is going through a lot of anxiety," said Jones. "As a result of so much negative publicity he is viewing himself in a way that he has not contemplated for at least 10 years: as an evil killer."

Chapman, who in July told Jones that he believed Lennon had forgiven him from beyond the grave, had started to realise how much the public still reviled him. "He has realised that although he feels he has repaid his debt to society, he is still one of the most hated men on planet Earth," said Jones.

Jones, who works for the Rochester Democrat, said the murderer had planned what he would say to the parole board. "He will tell them he feels he has been forgiven and that he understands why he did what he did," said Jones. "He will say that he would never kill another human being."

Despite such sentiments, however, Chapman has admitted that he would ask for life imprisonment if he were either Ono or one of Lennon's children.

Chapman, a born-again Christian, has plastered his cell walls with pictures of Christ. "Being a Christian, Mark is fearful that he will not be forgiven and that he is going to spend eternity in hell," said Jones. "He recognises that the infamy he once craved will never leave him."

I read in the paper that John's killer thinks John would want him to be set free, now if that's not the biggest BS... let me put it this way, if you kill someone I don't care who John, me, the Queen, anyone, you should rot in jail for the rest of your life.

One more thing....
I'm all sure you have heard by now that MDC was denied parole. Good. let the bastard rot in jail.

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani also wrote to oppose the parole, reported the New York Times. In his letter, he stated that Chapman had planned the murder ""in order to become famous himself.'' "Mr. Lennon was a unique musical talent whose vast influence extended well beyond music. He was a beloved citizen of his adopted home, New York City, and 20 years later, the impact of his death is still felt,'' wrote the mayor.
