Here's why I don't (and never will) support the death penalty: I was once a jury foreman.
That experience taught me that most people, even the good ones, are quick to judge and in a hurry to move on.
Hasn't anyone been paying attention to what DNA evidence is demonstrating about our legal system? An unacceptable number of people have been "proven guilty" and incarcerated (many on Death Row, awaiting execution) only to later be proven innocent by incontrovertible DNA evidence. Why are they found guilty in the first place, when the instructions are clear that you convict only when proven beyond a reasonable doubt? Lots of reasons…racial bigotry, classism, sexism, sexual orientation, you-don't-look-like-me-ism.
Okay, you say, but sometimes we KNOW who the guilty one is. We know Mark David Chapman murdered John Lennon in cold blood. No one disputes that. So if we KNOW, then that perp should die, right? Wrong. Because then you make the intellectual step to saying, "well, this other case is cut and dried, too. We got eyewitnesses and all that." That's a mistake. Stage a sudden event with a dozen eyewitnesses and then ask each of them separately what exactly happened and who they saw. You'll be amazed at the results. I made a hugely mistaken eyewitness identification myself once…that's scary.
So you can't put anyone to death for a crime, no matter the certainty, because once you do, you open the door to all the other cases that people CLAIM is a certainty and is anything but.
As Forrest Gump would say, "And that's all I have to say about that."

Any discussion of Mark David Chapman's fate must take into account that he was a patsy set up for the hit by the CIA's MK-Ultra
program. Why? Because Lennon was due to win his U.S.
citizenship a few months later, and they needed to eliminate the chance that
Lennon would have joined the opposition to their murderous counterrevolutionary
wars in Central America (esp. Nicaragua and El Salvador), just getting underway
as Reagan's transition team was taking power in December 1980. Think that's nuts? Read _Who Killed John Lennon?_ by Fenton
Bresler, and _The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: the CIA and Mind
Control_ by John Marks. And visit

The dude still looks like a maniac.
His eyes are just plain scary! It's like he's trying to burn a hole in your retina! Or turn you to stone.

I don't have time to explore those links right now, but I don't believe the conspiracy theory for a second. Ask yourself: was Lennon really a danger to anyone? He'd been living in the US for nine years (ooh, another number nine connection I'd not noticed before), had been mostly inactive for over four of those, and had stopped dabbling with revolutionary politics in 1972. He got his Green Card in 1976, so evidently he wasn't worth deporting then, and his recent songs were mostly about family life. Realistically, why on Earth would the CIA see him as enough of a threat to actually engineer his murder?

This is really weird, this guy has had three posts and they've all been the EXACT same. Big brother is watching…

Joe, it's a difficult theory to believe, but the CIA is the most corrupt organization on the planet, so I wouldn't put it past them. The point is that John could have been seen as a threat, the week after he was murdered he was set to fly out to San Francisco to march, so he could have been seen as getting back into his old ways. John was one of the few musicians that actually succeeded in his political objectives, ie freeing John Sinclair, and the government maybe just wanted to get rid of him before he could have done anything. It's a pretty ridiculous theory, but then again so is suggesting that a book can drive a man to his temporary insanity and cause him to murder John Lennon.

You call that temporary? Yeesh. It creeps me out just posting it.

I didn't call it temporary, but the judge at his trial did.

Chapman Should stay in jail for his own safety
Every diehard Lennon/Beatle fan would kill him in 2 seconds flat
Screw You
P.S. Nice argument about why he should be released

An intruder broke into George and Olivia's home, and stabbed George in the chest with a knife. I think Olivia bashed him over the head with a lamp, though, and then they called the police.

The defense didn't really claim that the BOOK drove him insane, did they?

I don't know what to think of this guy.
I do hate him because he killed John, but then again the CIA conspiracy theory isn't that farfetched if you ask me.
They've been doing it for years.
Look at JFK. it's most likely his death was a plot by the CIA. Probably because they didn't like him taking their cookies or something.
I honestly don't know. He does look like a psycho and I'm not sure what he would do if he was released. I'd hate to think that he'd kill Paul aswell.
Anyways, time to stop being serious.
He's a dick.
