John Lennon's Killer Denied Parole
杀害约翰·列侬的凶手释放申请被驳回
John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman was denied parole this week. This was the ninth time Chapman was denied parole since being sentenced to 20 years to life. On December 8, 1980, Chapman stood outside Lennon's Manhattan apartment and shot the former member of the Beatles four times in the back. Chapman is serving his sentence in a correctional facility in western New York. He was denied parole due to the celebrity-seeking nature of his premeditated crime. Chapman will be eligible to seek parole again in 2018.
本周,杀害约翰·列侬的凶手马克·大卫·查普曼的释放申请被驳回。这是自判处20年有期徒刑以来,查普曼第九次被驳回释放申请。1980年12月8日,查普曼站在列侬曼哈顿的公寓外面,朝这位披头士乐队前成员的背部开了四枪。查普曼在纽约西部的一所监狱里服刑。他的释放申请之所以被驳回,是因为他所犯下的罪行具有预谋刺杀名人的性质。查普曼2018年可以再次获得申请释放的资格。
