A 65-year-old murderer, currently serving time for John Lennon’s murder at Wende Correctional Facility east of Buffalo, has applied for parole for the 11th time and was denied parole as expected.

This time, he told the board he would have “no complaints” if they sentenced him to life in prison. “I assassinated him… because he was very, very famous and that’s the only reason. I was seeking my own fame. It was very selfish,” he told the board, according to a transcript that was released.

“I’m worthless. I deserve the death penalty. When you intentionally plan to murder someone and you know it’s wrong and you do it for yourself, I think you deserve the death penalty,” he said.

The parole board dismissed his appeal, calling his actions “heinous.”

He will have to wait two years before applying for parole again.

There are several reasons why we shouldn’t name a killer. First, it can make them more famous and get attention, which can lead to copycats or other violent acts. Second, it can cause more suffering for the victim and the victim’s family.

Make the Killer more famous:-

A 2018 study published in the journal Crime & Delinquency revealed a correlation between the media’s glorification of a killer and a subsequent rise in analogous offences. the study further indicated that infamous killers often serve extended sentences, affording them greater opportunity for the contemplation of future crimes.

Harming the Victim and Their Family:-

The public dissemination of a killer’s identity can inflict additional distress upon the victim and their family. The victim may experience a sense of objectification or devaluation, while the bereaved may encounter feelings of disturbance and violation.

In the specific case of John Lennon, F!A!R is committed to honouring the memory of both him and his family. His tragic demise continues to resonate globally. To this end, the perpetrator’s name shall not be mentioned on this website. So F!A!R will not name the killer
