How Many Times Has John Lennon's Killer Mark David Chapman Been Denied Parole?

John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, in prison since 1980 when he murdered the former Beatle, has tried and failed once more to gain parole.

Here is what’s known about the assassin’s attempts to gain release from prison.

In 2012, the Texas-born Chapman appeared before the parole board to once again request release from maximum security Wende Correctional Facility in Erie County, NY. The convicted killer is being held there after serving 31 years in Attica Correctional Facility. During his hearing at that time, the shooter offered his remorse for his actions in 1980.

“Absolutely it was not worth it,” The Denver Post reported him as saying. “Absolutely ridiculously selfish act to take another human’s life so that I could be pumped into, you know, something that I wasn’t to begin with. I deeply regret it.”
