From outrage to justice: Montana Court overturns 30-day rape sentence

Fox News: Montana teacher's 1-month rape sentence overturnedhttp://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/30/montana-teacher-1-month-rape-sentence-overturned/http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/30/montana-teacher-1-month-rape-sentence-overturned/

BILLINGS, Mont. – The Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned a one-month sentence that was widely condemned as too lenient for a former high school teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old student.

The court ordered a new judge to re-sentence defendant Stacey Dean Rambold, who has been free since completing the previous term last fall.

Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said that according to state sentencing laws, the decision means Rambold must serve a minimum of two years in prison.
I'm not sure two years is enough, but it's better than 30 days.
