"You demonstrated a callous disregard for the sanctity of human life"

 

Mark Chapman, the man who shot dead John Lennon, has been denied parole at the tenth time of trying.

 

Chapman, 63, will stay behind bars after his appeal was turned down by the parole board in New York yesterday.

 

The killer was caged for 20 years to life after he shot the Beatles icon at the entrance to his New York home in December 1980.

so I deduct from the comments that the only issue is that the victim was a celebrity?

Correct. Most murderers get parole after 12 years, but, because a celebrity's life is worth much more than Joe six-pack's life, they are never let go.

You are wrong. You need to compare apples with apples. For intentionally killing an innocent stranger the average time served in the US is much higher than 12 years. Also parole decisions are not just mathematical. They need to consider the interests of all stakeholders including society as a whole.

If he was released, it would not be long before someone found him, and committed a crime against him.

Glad he was denied, and they should keep denying him parole. He took a part of my youth the day he MURDERED John Lennon. Loony tunes and still a looney tunes.

He gets hate mail every day sent to him in prison, many people promise him the day his fat faggoty ass hits the streets again is the day someone will put a bullet in him. The safest place for him is right where he is now.

If he is still a threat to society, he should remain behind bars. If not, release him to a mental health facility and be done with it. He will most likely never be released even if he is not considered a danger to society as he killed someone famous.
