"THE MAN WHO KILLED JOHN LENNON: 45 YEARS OF DENIAL & THE PAROLE BOARD'S VERDICT - PART 2"

Reid Carter concludes the John Lennon assassination special. Mark David Chapman's defense planned an insanity defense—paranoid schizophrenia, delusions, the little people in his walls. But on June 22, 1981, Chapman told Judge Dennis Edwards that God ordered him to plead guilty. His attorney objected. Chapman didn't care. Sentenced to 20-years-to-life. August 2025: His fourteenth parole denial. The board cited his "selfish disregard for human life of global consequence" and "the worldwide void he created." Yoko Ono still writes letters opposing release. Chapman is now 70 years old. Next hearing: February 2027. He'll likely die in prison.Join our new FB groups page here.
