John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, was denied parole for a seventh time. In a written statement, the parole board wrote: “Despite your positive efforts while incarcerated, your release at this time would greatly undermine respect for the law and tend to trivialize the tragic loss of life which you caused as a result of this heinous, unprovoked, violent, cold and calculated crime.” The 57-year-old Chapman was being held in protective custody at Wende Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison in Alden, New York.
