Prosecutors in Billings, Montana are looking for legal standing to fight a 30-day sentence handed down to a teacher who admitted to raping his 14-year-old student. The girl later took her own life. "This case is very important. As I've said before, this resulted in the loss of one of our young people in my community," said Scott Twito, a prosecutor with the Yellowstone County attorney's office. "We take these charges very seriously. And we fight for those victims." He said he strongly disagrees with the sentence District Judge G. Todd Baugh gave to Stacey Dean Rambold this week. CNN obtained a copy of a memo from Twito's office to the Montana attorney general's office, which is reviewing the case.
