I don’t know the reasons for denying his release, but there’s a great HBO documentary about the parole system called Nature of the Crime. Even though parole hearings are ostensibly based on a prisoner’s behavior, attitude, rehabilitation, improvement, etc. they often get denied simply because the crime was a brutal one. Unfortunately they can never go back and change the nature of the crime, so they’re at the whim of the parole board.
It’s difficult to get parole for murder and even more difficult if you’re a famous murderer. Newspapers write about every single parole hearing this guy has had for decades. There’s no way he’d be able to be quietly paroled and go on to live a normal life.
I would love to know his taste in music.
Probably pretty good if you think how much he must hate the Beatles
He was a huge fan that decided Lennon was a “phony” (sic)
60+ year old pop music.
“after fatally shooting Beatle in 1980”
