Ono says she was trying to be “practical” in asking that Mark David Chapman remain behind bars for fatally shooting the pop legend on Dec. 8, 1980, outside Lennon’s Manhattan apartment building.
Chapman, who has been repeatedly denied parole, is up for review again this month. Yoko says Chapman might be a danger to her, other family members and perhaps even Chapman himself.
Yoko made her remarks at a meeting Thursday of the Television Critics Association. She was discussing a new PBS documentary on Lennon’s life in New York in the 1970s that is scheduled to air this winter.
I think she is right in fearing Chapman's release; any of us would. There is no guarantee the man is cured of his sick obsessions. She and her family would have to live in fear for the rest of their lives.
John Lennon would have been 70 in October. Wow!
