ATTICA, N.Y. - John Lennon's killer will remain in prison for at least two more years after being denied parole Tuesday because of the "extreme malicious intent" he showed in gunning down the former Beatle in 1980.

Mark David Chapman, 49, was notified of the decision late Tuesday after appearing before a three-member panel earlier in the day.

"During the interview your statement for motivation acknowledges the attention you felt this murder would generate," the board wrote in its single-page decision. "Although proven true, such rationale is bizarre and morally corrupt."

It was Chapman's third bid for freedom. He was denied parole in 2000 and again in 2002, on what would have been Lennon's 62nd birthday.

The latest denial "is based on the extreme malicious intent you exhibited (when) you fired a handgun multiple times, striking your victim ? John Lennon," the board wrote.

Chapman has been in prison more than 23 years for shooting Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment building as the musician returned from a recording session.

He became eligible for release after serving 20 years of a maximum life sentence.

Before Tuesday's hearing, a letter sent to the parole board on behalf of Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono (news), requested that Chapman remain imprisoned, according to a source close to Ono, who spoke only on condition of anonymity.

In 2000, Ono said she opposed Chapman's release out of concern for the safety of herself and her children.

For his own safety, Chapman lives in housing separate from the general population at the Attica Correctional Facility, about 30 miles east of Buffalo, according to corrections officials.

His next appearance before the parole board will be in October 2006.

I still can't believe that idiot miss yoko ono by 2 meters.

i'm sure some psycho beatles fan would gun him down if he ever hit the streets.

a great celebration for john lennon's fan! :)

Did he fire a round at her too? I never heard that before.

I hope that bastard stays locked up for the rest of his pathetic life.

hes done 20 years, thats life. just becouse the guy he killed was a beatle shouldnt mean he should do more time then if he killed a bus driver

Yeah, he should never get out. Not because he killed a Beatle, but because he's a cold blooded murderer. That should stand regardless who he killed.

The whole concept of parole for someone that killed one of music's most talented artists in this century is so utterly ridculous it boggles my mind.

WTF? How could this freak ever be allowed to be a free man again.

Anybody that kills somebody else in cold blood should serve life.

yea...he killed john lennon..what a bastard..but 23 years for murder? people have been killed in much worse ways..and thier attackers have done less time, i think they're keeping him in there beucase he killed john lennon..and for whatever reason..he's better then everyone else..so whoever shell kill john lennon is doomed to be raped in a max sec prison for the rest of his days...

jeez..i made lennon sound like god or something didnt i?

If we let out other people who kill in the same manner I would agree to let him out too. The fact that he killed Lennon in particular shouldn't be considered.

I wonder what Lennon would want.

how do people that kill get a chance for parole?

The Chair?

Whoa, what a stat.

It's estimated the total number of people murdered in the 20th century (1900 to 1999) worldwide was over 8,500,000 people.

:helpme

Good for him, I hope he rots in hell..

85,000 people per year, damn
