Mark David Chapman

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr of the Beatles took the world by storm. They became one of the most popular and influential bands of all time.

Nothing in Mark David Chapman's life seemed to work out as he wanted it to. He listened to the Beatles all the time. But Chapman's life was spiraling out of control in the late 1980s. He was obsessed with John Lennon of the Beatles and felt that killing Lennon would make him famous. Chapman displayed many signs of mental illness in the months leading up to the murder.

In this episode of Criminology, we discuss the Beatles, the life of John Lennon, the life of Mark Chapman, and the murder that shocked and saddened the world.
