In honor of Sgt. Pepper turning 40.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, I thought it might be appropriate to refer you to this sentencing order from a Montana court. As part of his pre-sentence report, the defendant, one Andrew Scott McCormack, when asked what he thought the court should do, submitted a written response as follows: "Like the Beetles (sic) say, 'Let it Be.'"

Judge Gregory R. Todd, who is obviously a Beatles afficianado determined his sentence this way.

Perhaps in retrospect, Mr. McCormack should have gone a little farther back into the Beatles' music library and asked for a little "Help."
