i shot john lennon::Mark david chapman, 53, disputed media accounts that he called out to lennon before shooting him in new york on december 8, 1980.
Chapman fired five shots at lennon, hitting him four times as the music legend and his wife, yoko ono, returned to their home in the dakota apartment building in the upper west side, of manhattan.
And that was my reasoning at the time.
Here he is at this ritzy building and he had been singing of love and other things at that time; it angered me.
Chapman said he was ashamed and sorry for killing lennon.
He has spent almost 28 years in the attica prison in upstate new york.
For the past 16 years he has been able to enjoy annual 44hour conjugal visits from his wife, a former travel agent named gloria hiroko chapman, who has stuck by him.
Three called for him to be freed.
Chapman said he had a job offer on a farm in upstate new york.
His next parole hearing will be in august 2010.
