ATTICA, N.Y. -- John Lennon's killer was denied parole for a fourth time Tuesday because of the "bizarre nature" of his crime. Mark David Chapman, 51, must remain at Attica Correctional Facility for at least two more years for gunning down the former Beatle outside his Manhattan apartment building in 1980.

"The panel remains concerned about the bizarre nature of this premeditated and violent crime," the board wrote in a one-page decision issued shortly after Chapman's appearance before the three-member panel at Attica.
The hearing lasted 16 minutes, said Scott Steinhardt, spokesman for the state Division of Parole. A transcript of the hearing was not immediately available.

"While the panel notes your satisfactory institutional adjustment," the decision said, "due to the extremely violent nature of the offense, your release would not be in the best interest of the community."

The decision came one day after what would have been Lennon's 66th birthday.

Chapman has been in prison for 25 years. He became eligible for release after serving 20 years of a maximum life sentence. His next appearance before the parole board will be in October 2008

Yoko Ono Wants Mark David Chapman Locked Up For Life; Claims She Didn't Influence Beatles Split

Yoko OnoJohn Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has called for his murderer Mark David Chapman to be locked up until he dies. Chapman has been in prison since he shot Lennon to death outside his Manhattan home on December 8, 1980.

He has been up for parole on a number of occasions, but it has always been denied - and Ono insists he should never be released.

In an interview with Mojo magazine, the 74-year-old says, "I'm a practical, logical person and I think it would be very dangerous for him to come out. Both for himself and for Julian, Sean and me."

-Ono: 'I Didn't Influence Lennon'
John LennonOno has recently blasted claims she was a powerful influence on the former Beatle - insisting it was he who led her.

The Japanese performer was widely blamed for splitting up The Beatles, but she insists she had a limited control over the star throughout his career.

Ono tells Mojo magazine, "Despite what people always say, I don't think I influenced John much. But through him I discovered an incredible world. He was always dealing with the people of the world. That's a pretty interesting thing to do."

i totaly agree.. life for a life !

And denied again. He will be in prison for at least another two years.

It may best best for everyone's sake (especially his) if he remains locked up forever.  What kind of life would he have if he was released?
