7 ? Motivation ? Chapman was a fan of the Beatles, particularly Lennon, but was reportedly angered by Lennon's infamous 1966 remark that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." Jan Reeves, sister of one of Chapman's best friends, reports that Chapman, "seemed really angry toward John Lennon, and he kept saying he could not understand why John Lennon had said it. According to Mark, there should be nobody more popular than the Lord Jesus Christ. He said it was blasphemy."

8 ? Motivation ? The song "Imagine" also angered Chapman — at prayer meetings and religious rallies, Chapman and his prayer group sang a parody with the lyric "Imagine, imagine John Lennon is dead.“ Chapman had also read in a library book (John Lennon: One Day at a Time by Anthony Fawcett) about Lennon's life in New York. "He was angry that Lennon would preach love and peace but yet have millions," said his wife Gloria. Chapman later reported that "He told us to imagine no possessions, and there he was, with millions of dollars and yachts and farms and country estates, laughing at people like me who had believed the lies and bought the records and built a big part of their lives around his music."

9 To free or not to free? Sean was 5 Julian was 17
The murderer of your husband, John Lennon could be free to walk the streets any day now as his case is to be reviewed by the Prison Warden. How do you feel about this? What could you say to make sure he stays in prison? Is he still a threat to society? What should be done with him? How has he made you and others suffer? Has he said anything recently that shows he’s still likely to murder? How has his death affected his two sons? Sean was 5 Julian was 17
