Mark David Chapman, 70, denied parole for killing John Lennon, citing fame and literary inspiration, but was rejected for lack of genuine remorse.
Mark David Chapman, serving a 20-years-to-life sentence for murdering John Lennon outside the Dakota in 1980, appeared before the New York parole board in August 2025 for his 14th parole attempt.
At 70, he stated his motive was a desire for fame and identity, inspired by Holden Caulfield from *The Catcher in the Rye*, and described the killing as selfish and driven by personal dissatisfaction.
He admitted regret for the harm caused but was denied parole, as the board found he lacked genuine remorse or meaningful empathy.
His next hearing is set for 2027.
