Mark Chapman has been refused his fourth parole bid, and will stay at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York for at least another two years of his sentence for killing John Lennon back in December 1980.
Chapman appeared at a sixteen minute hearing on Tuesday, where the three person panel noted the prisoners "satisfactory institutional adjustment" but decided against his release. They concluded: "The panel remains concerned about the bizarre nature of this premeditated and violent crime. While the panel notes your satisfactory institutional adjustment, due to the extremely violent nature of the offence your release would not be in the best interest of the community."
