The simple truth is Mr. Chapman has served not just 20 years but more
than 20 years. That's cruel & unusual punishment.

Why is that? Why should someone get only about 20 years...for taking
someone's life?

He didn't get the death penalty.

Right. He also didn't get life in prison. He got 20 years with the
chance for parole.
He is suffering and mentally ill. he does not belong in prison. He's a
political prisoner and we know how John & Yoko opposed that.
