[Michael Lee Bailey]

That darn Chapman
wasn't translating Homer enough notoriety for him?

Bresler interviewed Arthur O'Connor, the lieutenant 
who was commanding officer of the twentieth precinct
of the New York police that dealt with Lennon's murder. 

He quotes O'Connor as saying, "As far as you are trying 
to build up some kind of conspiracy, I would support you 
in that line. Like I said originally over the phone, 
if this gentleman [Chapman] wanted to 
get away with it, he could have got away with it. There was the 
subway across the road and no one around to stop him."

Instead, once Chapman had accomplished his task, he calmly sat 
and waited for police to come.

"Why one method rather than the other, 
the amateur as against the professional? 
Because that way you avoid any awkward questions. 

If Lennon had been gunned down by a professional killer,
the whole world would have known: such swift expert 
assassinations carry their own individual hallmark. 
It would have been obvious what had happened and, 
with Lennon's history of anti-government radical 
political activity, there would have been [an in-depth 
investigation]."

"But if you program an amateur to do the job, a so-called 'nut', 
very few questions are asked."
