Yoko Ono opposes parole for Lennon’s killer

       据英国媒体消息,日裔美籍音乐家、先锋艺术家、约翰·列侬的第二任妻子大野洋子发表声明,反对让杀害披头士乐队主唱约翰·列侬的凶手马克·查普曼获得假释。1980年12月8日,马克·查普曼在纽约枪杀了披头士乐队主唱约翰·列侬,随后被判处27年的监禁。

    Three decades after John Lennon’s death, Yoko Ono said she opposes parole for his killer because he remains a potential threat.

    Ms. Ono said she was trying to be practical in asking that Mark David Chapman remain behind bars for fatally shooting the pop legend on December 8, 1980, outside Mr. Lennon’s Manhattan apartment building.

    Mr. Chapman, who has been repeatedly denied parole, is up for review again this month. Mr. Lennon’s widow said Mr. Chapman might be a danger to her, other family members and perhaps even himself.

    Ms. Ono made her remarks at a meeting Thursday of the Television Critics Association. She was discussing a new PBS documentary on Mr. Lennon’s life in New York in the 1970s that is scheduled to air this winter. The former Beatle would have been 70 in October.
