Louisiana Victims' Group Supports State Funding for Death Row Appeals Victims' advocates in Louisiana want the state to adequately finance capital post-conviction appeals, saying that a sloppy legal process only drags out the appeals. "It doesn't do the victim...any good to have someone who is not guilty convicted or even a guilty person convicted with an improper trial," said Sandy Krasnoff, director of Victims and Citizens Against Crime.
