Yes it is... I found this e-book, 10 chapters on Chapman's worthless life... www.crimelibrary.com/terrorists_spies/assassins/chapman/1.htmlYes, we've all done things we're not proud of, but... I am annoyed to say the least. Here's an excerpt from Chapter 10 I found intriguing... spooky. "Every Dec. 8, groups gather in a section of Central Park near the Dakota that has been named Strawberry Fields, after an autobiographical Lennon song..."

I'm not surprised. One year, I have to make it my business to be part of that crowd ! ;D

Me too, mommybird! But I got so caught up in the Chapman story there, I almost forgot about Faul! What a waste...

Mark David Chapman clearly did not shoot John Lennon. It sickens me that there are people all over the world signing petitions to keep him in prison. Even if he did shoot John (and it seems he did not), would John want this man locked away for life? Just look at the facts, people....the man has never been legally classified as insane, and he has an outstanding record of good behavior. Even if he did kill John (which, I reiterate, he didn't), it's time for the world to forgive....not necessarily forget, but forgive.

Oh and I agree with you, people are basically saying he should be treated differently than any other man who killed someone, just because the one he murdered happened to be John Lennon.

Jose Perdomo perhaps. He was the doorman for the Dakota, (and was at the scene of the murder) and he took part in the Bay of Pigs invasion. Weird resume..

Weird resume.. If I could find definitive proof that the doorman was involved with the Bay of Pigs, it would be a closed-case for me. It is auspicious that his name is never printed in news articles until years after, despite the fact that he was the only witness! I wonder why he told Chapman to leave the scene?

Thanks JoJo. Interesting. "... Perdomo and Chapman discussed the Bay of Pigs Invasion and JFK's assassination a few hours before Lennon was killed. This suggests Perdomo was a member of Brigade 2506 during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, a failed CIA operation to overthrow Fidel Castro..."
Any chance that a fade is doable on the two photos of doorman/Pedomo?

I'd like to see that myself. I have my own theory that Perdomo isn't the only person who shot John ( other than Chapman, of course ). Evil woman.... ( I love that song )

Well, I really don't know what to say then... All accounts I've read indicate that Chapman had a few screws loose way before the shooting... but as we all know, anything's possible. Maybe that made him a prime candidate to take the fall. Who knows.

How bizarre.....what happened to his ear?!

Not only the ear. Look at the entire region of the back of his head.

I've never seen that morgue picture before. His head shape is so, so odd in it.

I shudder to think what happened to his ear. If Yucko is indeed into magic, maybe she used it in some kind of ritual I remember reading somewhere that she had a multi-million dollar life-insurance policy taken out on him. Has anyone else heard of this ? I just tried researching it, but couldn't find the source.

I'm pretty sure Yoko didn't do anything weird to his body....not only would that have been illegal, but I think she loved him too much to do something like that. However, I do think that Yoko is in control of John's spirit....it's hard to explain, but I have my reasons for thinking so. I just have this feeling that even though he's been dead all these years, John has still has had some say-so in all The Beatle's affairs ever since. In Back in the US Live 2002, listen closely to beginning of "I Saw Her Standing There" (one of the oldest Beatles' numbers---a song that is certainly none of Bill's doing)....you can hear Paul lean into the mike and say "Yoko....send now!". Send what? Is she channeling John's spirit, and sending it to Sir Paul, maybe to help his performance seem more authentic? I know these are outlandish theories, but like everything else in these forums it's based around a rumor: in this case, it's the rumor of Yoko Ono being a witch. Anyway, here's the clip if anyone's interested.

Jude, what was the date of that clip ? When was that recorded ? And yes, Yucko is a witch.

Mommybird, the clip was recorded sometime during Paul's Back in the US tour, which was in 2002. It's near the end of the album, and yes, I really think he's saying "Yoko". I heard one word, not two. How could it be "OK....Ok.."? And even if he is saying "OK', what in world does he want to have sent to him?

And even if he is saying "OK', what in world does he want to have sent to him? Stage monitors are fed from the mixer on circuits called auxiliary "send" channels. Sir Paul might have needed a little more volume in his monitor. -j

The whole thing is interesting reading, but this is key: The following is Montgomery's summary of the autopsy report from an article published in the NYT on Dec. 10, 1980, two days after the murder:
"According to the autopsy, four shots struck Mr. Lennon, two in the left side of his back and two in his left shoulder. All four caused internal damage and bleeding."www.jfkmontreal.com/john_lennon/UsenetDeathCert.htmI've been poking around the NYT archives from the time, and one witness claimed he heard five shots, while all others said four. (but no shots to the head) It's unlikely John Lennon wouldn't have one if not several life insurance policies, all making Yoko no doubt the beneficiary, doesn't mean much. I always had a problem with this alleged picture of John in the morgue, not the least of which was that it was published in the National Enquirer. (not so much the morbidity) Also, could be a skin flap, or just a bad job at retouching, again, the Enquirer has a sketchy history, with numerous lawsuits aimed at their "stretching" the truth.
