Mark David Chapman, imprisoned for murdering former Beatle John Lennon in New York nearly 28 years ago, has been denied parole for a fifth time, state authorities said on Tuesday.

The New York State Division of Parole said in a statement that the 53-year-old's request for parole was denied "due to concern for the public safety and welfare."

Chapman is serving a sentence of 20 years to life for shooting and killing Lennon as he and his wife, Yoko Ono, arrived at their apartment building on December 8, 1980.

Mark David Chapman's Really Lonely Hearts Club Band, indeed.

Mark, picture yourself in cell and your freedom's gone. You're a real bad guy.

I'm with BPG on this one. We let the crazy guy that shoots a republican president have home visits to mom and dad's house, but a guy that kills a beetle will rot in the prison system for the rest of his life. California lets druggie illegal alien minors with violent offenses go to halfway houses and doesn't deport them, but this guy will be in prison until the prison falls in on him.
