Apple TV has revealed an official trailer for a documentary series called John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial, arriving for streaming in December. With the true crime trend bringing in so many stories, why not turn to the infamous Lennon murder? After the recent release of the “final” Beatles song “Now and Then“, they have to ride this wave of attention. For the first time, key figures from John Lennon’s life and death — including friends, doctors and investigators — share personal memories and reveal what happened on the night of his killing. The three-part streaming series includes exclusive eyewitness interviews and previously unseen crime scene photos of cultural icon John Lennon and the investigation & conviction of Mark David Chapman, his confessed killer. As well as other insights gained from documents about the investigation. Lennon was tragically murdered by a lone gunman on the night of December 8th, 1980 at The Dakota in NYC. While most people know what happened and the man who did it, this doc will explore the shooting in even greater depth than ever before.
