Lennon Fans Oppose Killer's Parole

By WENN, August 7 2008

A thousand fans of former BEATLE JOHN LENNON have signed a petition begging a parole board to keep his killer behind bars.

Mark David Chapman is serving a 20 years to life sentence at New York's Attica Correctional Facility for murdering the pop star outside his Manhattan home in 1980.

He has been rejected for parole four times, and is due to face a board again next week (begs10Aug08).

Officials reveal they have been sent 50 letters and a 1,100 name petition opposing his release and just three letters calling for him to be freed.

Robert Gangi, from prisoner advocacy group Correction Association of New York, tells the New York Daily News, "I'm surprised given the number of Beatles fans in the world, that he has even three letters."

I really hope he gets parole - he'll be killed within 5 minutes of his release by one of the billions of BEATLES fans out there.
