Editorial Reviews

Product Description

He was a troubled man whose boyhood fascination with one of the world's greatest stars turned into a psychotic obsession. The shots he fired spelled the end to whatever innocence was left in rock and roll. Mark David Chapman was one of John Lennon's biggest fans. Before he killed the iconoclastic superstar he made sure to get his autograph the last one Lennon ever signed. After he fired four shots from across the street as Lennon entered Manhattan's Dakota apartment building he waited calmly for police to arrest him. Six months later he was sentenced to 20 years to life. AMERICAN JUSTICE revisits the tragedy through interviews with many of the parties involved including Chapman's attorneys the arresting officer and in a rare taped interview from his cell Chapman himself. Forensic psychiatrists explore the twisted fantasy of Chapman's life where the line between celebrity worship and stalking blurred into indistinction. Dramatic footage of the crime scene and aftermath bring the incident to life and legal experts examine the possibility that Chapman will be freed he is eligible for parole in 2000. It's a comprehensive chronicle of the murder that stunned a generation.System Requirements:Running Time 50 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting informative documentary on John Lennon's murderer, May 5, 2007
By Z. Freeman "Zach" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a very interesting documentary detailing the life of Mark David Chapman and the events building up to his murder of John Lennon in 1980. The 50 minute documentary features interviews with the policeman who first arrived on the scene, the doctor that operated on Lennon, and one of Lennon's best friends.

The details of Chapman's psychosis and his disturbing childhood are discussed at great length as well as his obsession with Catcher in the Rye and John Lennon himself. It's an eye-opening documentary and if you've ever been intereted in John Lennon's assasination, you will definitely enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected --, February 13, 2009
By JNagarya (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
more about the murderer than expected, including, in particular, facts about his mother's disturbed relationship with him, not disclosed in the immediate aftermath of the crime. Still, it would require more than one viewing if one is attempting to make sense of the intermixed illiteracy-based mental problems, and rationalizations. Prominent in that mix is the literalist, oversimplified fundamentalist "Christian" "religion" which was his confused pseudo-escape from his other confusions.

So he figured killing "the world's biggest somebody" would end his being "the world's biggest nobody". And now he's a "Christian" (again) who -- conveniently -- believes "God" has forgiven him for committing the murder. So "God," too, is another of his self-justifying delusions.

Only three stars (four stars are "liked," five are "loved") because I was as devastated as many millions of others by the religionut assassination which, even with the extensive information in this presentation, then made and still makes no sense.
