MANHATTAN — The parole hearing for John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, has been postponed for a month, the New York Daily News reported.
Mark David Chapman, 55, who was convicted of murdering John Lennon outside his Upper West Side Dakota apartment building in 1980, was supposed to have a parole hearing scheduled for this week.
The parole board told the News that they postponed the hearing because they are waiting for more information on Chapman, but did not indicate what kind of information they needed.
Next month’s parole hearing will be Chapman’s sixth — he has been denied parole at all five of his previous appearances before the board.
Chapman is serving a sentence of 20 years to life at Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
The music legend’s widow, Yoko Ono, has repeatedly asked that Chapman’s request for parole be denied, saying as recently as 2008 that she would fear for her safety and that of her sons if Chapman were released.
