An Ohio man who nearly 40 years ago
killed his roommate and ate part of his brain is under review for parole.
Sixty-year-old David Allen Chapin is
serving life at a prison in Lima (LY'-muh) for shooting his longtime friend
Donald Liming in the eye in October 1978, in a dispute over religion. The two
23-year-olds were sharing an apartment in Milford, in southwest Ohio.
The Ohio Parole Board held a closed
hearing Feb. 1, but a prisons department spokeswoman told The Cincinnati
Enquirer. Members couldn't reach a majority decision. That triggered a central
office review that could take several weeks.
Chapin has been denied parole at
least four previous times.
Chapin told a court-ordered psychiatrist
he ate Liming's brain as part of a "mutual agreement" between the
friends.
