John Lennon's killer seeks freedom again

John's not dead.

Everyone knows he faked it all and disappeared to get away from Yoko.

He then underwent massive surgery to change his whole identity and I'm pretty sure he moved to New Jersey, became Wonder Mike and formed the Sugarhill Gang.

The thing about giving parole in America is the parole board can get sued if they commit another crime, so basically no-one gets paroled.

It's been said he killed him because he was infuriated by Lennon preaching everyone should be hippies while cashing in on his image and living a materialistic lifestyle. Perhaps because of his reading and quoting The Catcher in the Rye, which condemns phonies. His references to the book seem to have been more to do with trying to pass himself off as having been in psychosis when he committed the killing though. In his last parole hearing he said he just wanted to get famous, and that he had also considered Jimmy Carson and Elizabeth Taylor.

I think the latter is true. Wanting to be significant seems to be the motive for a lot of the more shocking and apparently random killings.
