Denied parole for the 11th time: the John Lennon’s killer still in jail
A parole board at Wende correctional facility near Buffalo, New York, denied the killer’s release.
Detailed reasons have not been given. He will have to wait two years before applying for parole again.
The killer was sentenced to 20 years to life imprisonment.
First became eligible for parole in 2000.
Update: denied parole for the 11th time
Acording to hearing transcripts, The killer killed John Lennon because he was “angry and jealous” at the way the Beatle was living and was seeking “glory” for himself, according to hearing transcripts.
“At the time my thinking was he has all of this money, lives in this beautiful apartment and he is into music representing a more cautious lifestyle, a more giving lifestyle,” the killer told parole commissioners. “It made me angry and jealous compared to the way I was living at the time. There was jealousy in there.”
“It was just self-glory, period,” the killer said. “It was nothing more than that. It boiled down to that. There’s no excuses.”
One of the commissioners said, “You called it glory and some might call it infamy,” to which the killer replied, “Infamy brings glory.”
That statement:
“During the interview you stated you committed this murder to seek glory. You said ‘infamy brings you glory,'” the panel decision denying parole stated. “This panel finds your statement disturbing. Your actions represented an evil act. The fact that today, almost 40 years
later, you can still speak of what you did as something that you felt was a positive and in your mind gave you ‘glory’ at the time, is disturbing for this panel.”
John Lennon’s killer denied parole for the 11th time, He will have to wait two years before applying for parole again.
Declaration
In writing about John Lennon’s death, I intend to pay tribute to Mr John Lennon. His tragic death reverberates around the world, and the name of his killer is known around the world.
However, F!A!R have chosen not to mention the killer name.
There are several reasons why we should not name a killer.
First, it may increase their fame and attention, which may lead to copycats or other violent acts. A 2018 study published in the journal Crime & Delinquency found a correlation between media attention to killers and subsequent increases in similar offences. The study also found that high-profile killers often serve long prison sentences, which increases the likelihood of them planning future crimes.
Second, it may cause more suffering for victims and their families. Victims may feel objectified or ostracized, while the bereaved may feel distressed and violated.
For these reasons, F!A!R use the term killer rather than mentioning him directly.
