John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial

There were so many books written about Lennon that the average fan will not learn much ;even the subject of a political murder was mooted shortly after the tragedy : Fenton Bressler ,a practising barrister ,even released "the murder of John Lennon" in 1989.

But Lennon buffs should not miss this three-episode miniseries : the main interest is to have gathered all the main witnesses and to have them search their memories and tell how the tragedy occured : the concierge of the Dakota, the taxi driver, the policeman who arrived first on the place, the doctor who tried to save the singer , a nurse and producer Jack Douglas (I had never seen the scene when he and his wife try to enter the hospital ) Much time is given over to mourning of the fans , the murderer's wife and the famous "catcher in the rye" ; as for the slayer ,his motive was probably to attract the attention ,like the murder attempt on Ronald Reagan mentioned here. Lennon remains,along McCartney ,my favorite rock artist.
