Mark Chapman Tried to Sell John Lennon Record and then Shot Him!
uploaded by Christina 123
Catcher in the Rye Killer Mark Chapman tried to sell a signed John Lennon record so that he could cash in on his own notoriety caused directly by his shooting Lennon dead. Chapman tried to profit from his prison cell. Ironically, Chapman is being held at Attica State - also the title of one of Lennon's famous protest songs on his live double albumn Sometime in New York City.
The height of cheek?
John Lennon's killer Mark Chapman wanted to cash in on his notoriety by selling an album Lennon signed for him hours before he shot him dead, it has emerged.
In a never-seen-before letter posted from New York's Attica Correctional Facility, where he is currently in solitary confinement, Chapman asks a memorabilia specialist from New Jersey how much the signed Lennon album - Double Fantasy - would be worth.
In the letter written five years after the killing, Chapman tells matter-of-factly how he shot Lennon dead on December 8, 1980, but how earlier the same day he had successful asked him to sign the Lennon and Yoko Ono record, released just days earlier.

Christina 123, I like this story. It's good stuff.
The cheeky SOB has got his just deserts - denied bail again. Clearly a parole board full of Beatles fans

"THE PRESTON BRIEF"
THE PRESTON BRIEF IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT CURRENTLY BEING PROTECTED AT PRESTON CITY COUNCIL, LANCS, ENGLAND. IT HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED FOR PUBLIC VIEWING.
THE DOCUMENT IS CO-AUTHORED BY DR. DAVID BARTON AND IS A WELL CRAFTED BRIEF DIRECTING PEOPLE TOWARDS VARIOUS CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS WHERE JUSTICE HAS FAILED. ANALYSTS BELIEVE THE GRAMMAR, SPELLING ERRORS AND PUNCTUATION ALONG WITH STYLE OF WRITING IS A CLUE TO HELP DIRECT PEOPLE TOWARDS PERSONS THAT ARE INTENT ON DESTROYING MANKING IN THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY. ONE ANALYST HAS ALREADY SUGGESTED THAT THERE IS A HIDDEN CODE CONTAINED IN THE WORDS THAT DIRECTS THE READER TOWARDS A MYSTERIOUS SECT INTENT ON DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
THE PRESTON BRIEF MUST BE READ BY ALL FREE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD. ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN DECIDE WHAT IS FACT, FICTION AND WHAT WILL HELP US CREATE A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO INHERIT.
