Citando:

"Assassinei-o apenas porque ele era muito famoso. Foi um acto desprezível”. Foi assim, em síntese, que Mark Chapman se referiu, no passado mês de Agosto, ao gesto com que há quase 40 anos, no dia 8 de Dezembro de 1980, matou John Lennon (1940-1980) atingindo-o com quatro tiros à queima-roupa à saída do seu apartamento em Manhattan."

Citando:

"“I was too far in,” Chapman told the board. “I do remember having the thought of, ‘Hey, you have got the album now. Look at this, he signed it, just go home.’ But there was no way I was just going to go home.”

As in previous parole hearings, Chapman went into detail about the shooting and his regret over the “senseless” act. Chapman claimed he sought notoriety and felt no animosity for Lennon, even though he loaded his gun with more lethal hollow-point bullets.

“I secured those bullets to make sure he would be dead,” he said. “It was immediately after the crime that I was concerned that he did not suffer.”"
