The final words spoken by John Lennon after being shot have been revealed in a new documentary series titled “John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial.” The concierge at the Dakota building in New York, where Lennon lived, shared his account of the tragic event. He described Lennon running past him, saying, “I’m shot,” before collapsing on the floor with blood coming out of his mouth. Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, screamed for an ambulance while the concierge tried to help him.
The documentary explores various conspiracy theories that emerged following Lennon’s death and includes audio recordings of his shooter, Mark David Chapman, discussing his case with his lawyers. Chapman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder just before his trial and received a 20-year prison sentence.
The series, narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, features interviews with Lennon’s closest friends, Chapman’s defense lawyers, psychiatrists, detectives, and prosecutors. It aims to reveal shocking details about the musician’s tragic murder.
Chapman, who is currently held at the Green Haven Correctional Facility in New York, apologized to Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, during his 2020 hearing. He called the shooting a “despicable” and “extremely selfish” act and expressed remorse for the pain he caused.
In other news, a new Beatles song featuring the vocals of John Lennon, produced with the help of artificial intelligence, has recently been released. The AI technology isolated Lennon’s vocals from a tape he recorded in 1978, combined them with old session tracks featuring George Harrison, and added new lines from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to create a final reunion of the band.
This documentary series and the release of the new Beatles song serve as reminders of the enduring legacy of John Lennon and his impact on music history.
