“Son of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz says he has no interest in seeking parole.
Berkowitz says in a letter to FoxNews.com that he is already a “free man” and that Jesus Christ has already forgiven him, even if society never will.
Berkowitz terrorized New York City over 13 months in 1976 and 1977, killing six women and shooting seven others.
Berkowitz, formerly of Yonkers, is serving six consecutive 25-years to-life sentences at the maximum-security Sullivan Correctional Facility northwest of New York City.
He has been denied parole five times and has been in prison 34 years. His is eligible for a sixth parole hearing next year.
