Montana judge defends former teacher's one-month sentence for rape of teen

A Montana judge is defending his decision to sentence a former teacher to 31 days in jail for raping a 14-year-old student.

Judge G. Todd Baugh said he gave 47-year-old Stacey Dean Rambold "the right kind of sentence:" 31 days in jail and more than 14 years on probation.

The angels weep at the injustice, theHandpuppet.

So glad he is now serving time, yet it will never bring back Cherice Moralez.
