Mark David Chapman, who was convicted of killing John Lennon, has been denied parole for the seventh time.

Chapman, 57, was last up for parole in 2010, and has also been denied parole in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

He is serving a sentence of 20 years to life in prison for gunning down Lennon outside his Manhattan apartment back in 1980, and is currently serving out his term at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, New York.

Chapman lives in a single-person cell and is allowed out for three hours a day.  He was transferred to Alden from Attica last year, and has since reapplied to participate in the state program called “family reunion,” which lets inmates spend time with family members.
