The man who murdered John Lennon in New York nearly 42 years ago has been denied parole for the 12th time.
Mark David Chapman, 67, appeared before a parole board at the end of August, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
It is unclear why parole was refused but previously Chapman has called his actions "despicable" and said he would have "no complaint whatsoever" if they chose to leave him in prison for the rest of his life. "I was too far in," Chapman told a parole board in 2018. "I do remember having the thought of, 'Hey, you have got the album now. Look at this, he signed it, just go home.' But there was no way I was just going to go home."
He shot him four times in the back and shoulder. Lennon was pronounced dead in the hospital an hour later. When police arrived to arrest Chapman, he was flicking through pages of The Catcher in the Rye.
