I know that everyone has their own varied opinions of this man, but why is it that when famous people are killed, the killers seem to do more time? Ex:I had a friend murder, one of his killers only got 10yrs, and the other got 22yrs. Doesn't seem fair.

Why do assassins always have 3 names?

I love how everyone expects the criminal justice system to work entirely differently than it actually does when a celebrity is the victim of a crime.

Hook him up in an electric chair and let Yoko throw the switch.

Hyper you are probably right, but most of that would be caused by heavy drug use and hanging out with a very ugly woman who sleeps most of the day.

I can't speak for a dead man, especially one whom I never knew personally, but something tells me that John Lennon would have a very different take on things than in the comments I'm seeing above.

Gee, MDC gets to spend time with his wife? That's more than John Lennon gets to do. They should have ended that waste of resources 20 years ago. Lethal injection. I *hate* this guy.

Parole him. He won't live five minutes on the street with all the people out there looking to make a name for themselves.

Regardless if you were or weren't a fan of John Lennon or the Beatles; the fact of the matter is that MDC's actions did destroy a family so why should his family reunion rights be preserved???

Cue all the aging beatles fans to make sure this guy never gets paroled. Eh, they were overrated anyways.

Who the heck cares if he gets conjugal visits or not?

the News also reports that Chapman "has been enjoying conjugal visits with his wife [Gloria Hiroko Chapman] for at least 16 years" of the 28 he's been imprisoned. I'm guessing his wife hasn't enjoyed the visits that much.
