John Lennon's killer was sentenced to life in prison. 40 years after the beginning of his sentence, Chapman apologized to the musician's widow, Yoko Ono, and called his act stupid and vain:
«He was a family man. He was an icon. I killed him because he was very, very, very famous, and that's the only reason.»
This murder became one of the most notorious in its time. In August 2020, Mark asked for early release for the 11th time and, as usual, was refused.
