Stacey Dean Rambold pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old girl and served a month in prison.
Montana is fighting to get a former teacher back behind bars after he served only a month for raping a 14-year-old girl.
Prosecutors filed an appeal Friday questioning the controversial 31-day sentence imposed on Stacey Dean Rambold, whose victim took her own life.
Rambold, a former high school teacher, pleaded guilty to the rape. He was sentenced in August and released from a Montana prison on probation the next month.
The case drew criticism and a firestorm of media attention. So did the judge who sentenced Rambold.
