New Documentary Investigates John Lennon's Murder

The series 'John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial' delves into the events surrounding Lennon's death, featuring first-hand accounts and revealing Lennon's final words.

The new three-part documentary series, 'John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial', investigates the murder of John Lennon by Mark David Chapman in 1980, featuring first-hand witnesses, vintage audio and video, and present-day interviews.
The documentary reveals Lennon's state of mind just hours before his murder, showing his excitement about his return to music and his continued activism.
Jay Hastings, a worker at Lennon's building, recalls Lennon's final words after being shot by Chapman: 'I'm shot'.
Chapman, who pled guilty to second-degree murder, left a trail of evidence and gave mixed reasons for his actions, including wanting to become a character from 'The Catcher in the Rye' and calling Lennon 'the biggest, phoniest bastard that ever lived'.
There is still debate over Chapman's mental stability and whether he should be behind bars or under psychiatric treatment.
