I don’t know how I should feel about a legal system that treats murderers well in jail. John Lennon’s crazy killer is one of those people living a pretty good life in jail. He’s been enjoying conjugal visits with his wife for the past 16 years. Mark David Chapman killed the iconic Beatle back in December of 1980 and has since been serving time in the Attica Correctional Facility. Chapman was actually up for parole for the fifth time last week. He’s been denied four times since he became eligible back in 2000. Yoko Ono had submitted a letter in 2000 stating she feared for her safety, for Lennon’s kids’ safety and even for Chapman’s safety if he was released. 8 years later and Yoko says that her position has not changed.
