Lennon’s killer hearing delay

A PAROLE hearing for John Lennon’s assassin was delayed until September, a court official said, as the famed Beatles star’s killer sought conditional release after nearly 30 years in prison.

For the sixth time, Mark David Chapman, 55, is seeking release as part of a routine review of sentences at Attica prison in northern New York state, where he is an inmate.

“The Division of Parole is awaiting the receipt of additional information so that the record is complete for Mr Chapman’s upcoming parole interview,” the board said.
