WASHINGTON — John Lennon’s assassin Mark David Chapman’s request for release has been denied for the seventh time by the parole board, the New York Department of Corrections has revealed.
57-year-old Chapman had shot the legendary musician in December 1980 outside the Manhattan apartment building, where the former Beatle lived, Fox News reported.
He had been sentenced in 1981 to 20 years to life in prison after he pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder.
He had been transferred in May from the Attica Correctional Facility to the nearby Wende Correctional Facility, both of which are maximum security prisons.
