Yoko Opposes Release Of Man Who Killed John Lennon

Yoko Ono will again oppose the release of Mark David Chapman, the man who killed her husband John Lennon when he comes up for parole next month.
Ono has consistently opposed parole for Chapman and has again sent a letter to the parole board, according to her attorney.
Chapman shot Lennon to death on December 8, 1980, outside the famed Dakota apartment building just west of Central Park as he and Ono returned home from a recording session.
Chapman is now 55 and serving a 20-years-to-life sentence for the murder. He is scheduled to be interviewed by a three-member parole board panel during the week of August 9. It will be his sixth try for parole.
