Posted August 11, 2008 11:00 pm
ATTICA, New York -- John Lennon's killer has been denied parole for a fifth time.
Mark David Chapman will remain in New York's Attica Correctional Facility for at least two more years for gunning down the former Beatle outside his Manhattan apartment building in 1980.
In a one-page decision issued after Chapman's appearance Tuesday, parole board members say that Chapman has had a clean disciplinary record since 1994 but his release "would not be in the best interest of the community."
