Deny Mark David Chapman parole petition

What a great first post. Someone thinks it's a good idea for parole boards to take public petitions into account. I would sooner sign a Nader-ballot-access petition.
 
Hey,I'll bet someother murderer is up for parole too....why no petition?Oh,wait,he didn't kill someone important/special like JL!Personally,I favor the death penalty.

I'm going to go for the million and predict that he won't answer your question, because this is spam and he won't be back.

To: Parole Court of NY
We the undersigned believe that Mark David Chapman should not be granted parole for the murder of John Lennon.

Chapman committed a heinous crime, unprovoked and without remorse.

Well no more heinous than any murder, but without remorse ? Have the details of his time in prison been released. Has he shown no remorse ? Would a parole board release anyone who hasn’t shown remorse ?
He shot to death John Lennon, a man who had signed an autograph for him only six hours earlier. He deserves to pay for this with life in prison.

I am not sure that signing an autograph is particularly relevant. It doesn’t really make the crime worse.
I would much rather that the decision whether he deserves to spend a life in prison is made by those directly involved with his rehabilitation than a spotty 17 year old with a Beatles record,
It is also a matter of public safety that he not be released. He should not be free to harm anyone else.

Evidence that the public would not be safe ?
Please remember Mr. John Lennon, who believed in peace. Please remember that Mark David Chapman is forty-nine years old, and John Lennon never got to be older than forty.

relevance ?
Please do not let this man back on the streets.

Why not if he has served his sentence ?

Not just public petitions - electronic public petitions. Is there anyone who takes those seriously?

Chapman has also expressed remorse for killing Lennon. In an interview in 1990 he said:"It was an end of innocence for that time. And I regret being the one that ended it."

Scratch one argument.

However, have no fear:

However, Robert Gangi of the Correctional Association of New York - who acts as a lawyer for prison inmates - has expressed his doubts over the likelihood of Chapman being released.

"Each case should be handled individually but anyone convicted of the murder of a famous person is probably unlikely to ever get parole," Gangi said.

So if you're going to murder someone, make sure it's a nobody.
