Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life behind bars.

Recently, a three member Parole Board panel rejected his appeal for freedom on September 7, 2010.

Good for them!

Here is the official statement gathered from the New York Daily News.

The panel said Chapman's "premeditated senseless and selfish act of tragic consequence" makes his release "inappropriate at this time and incompatible with the welfare of the community."

Releasing him would "would so deprecate the seriousness of [the] crime as to undermine respect for the law," the panel said.

Yes, this is news and normally Rogue of the Week stays away from something like this. However, when Justice actually works, it’s a wonderful thing. So yes, Rogue of the Week goes to the three member Parole Board for keeping this guy locked up.
