John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial has been narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, and will look into both the original crime in 1980, alongside its aftermath. To make the documentary, the filmmakers were “granted extensive Freedom of Information Act requests from the New York City Police Department, the Board of Parole and the District Attorney’s office”. Mark David Chapman fatally shot the former Beatle outside his New York apartment on 8 December, 1980. He pled guilty in 1981, and was sentenced to twenty years to life in prison. He has since been up for parole 12 times, and was denied each time.

People gathered at Central Park, New York, to mourn the death of John Lennon, December 1980
