ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 The man who killed John Lennon<\/a> outside the former Beatle\u2019s Manhattan apartment building in 1980 has been denied parole for a 14th time, according to New York prison officials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mark David Chapman, 70, appeared before a parole board on Aug 27, and the decision was recently posted online<\/a> by the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chapman fatally shot Lennon on the night of Dec. 8, 1980, as the musician and his wife, Yoko Ono, were returning to their Upper West Side apartment. Lennon had signed an autograph for Chapman on a copy of his recently released album, \u201cDouble Fantasy,\u201d earlier that day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chapman was arrested within minutes, sitting near the shooting scene with a copy of J.D. Salinger\u2019s novel, \u201cThe Catcher in the Rye.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The transcript for the latest parole board hearing was not immediately available. But Chapman previously expressed remorse<\/a> for the crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI knew what I was doing, and I knew it was evil, I knew it was wrong, but I wanted the fame so much that I was willing to give everything and take a human life,\u201d he told a parole board<\/a> three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chapman is serving a 20-years-to-life sentence at Green Haven Correctional Facility, north of New York City, according to online state corrections records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 20 Years Of<\/span>Free<\/span>Journalism<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
