Someone mentioned that it would be unlikely that he would be alive today had he been released earlier, not sure if they meant that his lifestyle would have got to him or he would have been sought out by a distraught fan seeking revenge.
I wrote that, Chas- and I meant the latter. My friend is a monster Beatles fan (where I'm just an avid fan )
He is convinced beyond a doubt that if Chapman ever got out, that someone, somewhere would get to him. I tend to agree.
And btw- I didn't know that he has refused treatment while incarcerated. There's no way they should even consider letting him out then! How would they know if he'd re-offend? Why bother with the parole process at all??
