Knowledge from life is not the same as knowing how something actually works based on the regulations and policies. But in any case, if you present something as fact it is my understanding that you're supposed to provide a source when asked.
Legal Aid have criteria, and it's pretty strict.
Legal Aid funded Bayley's original defense, so broken parole didn't rule him out.
People have been provided funding for their appeals, after they have been found guilty in the initial trial (and are no longer considered innocent under the law). Although this is done with strict criteria, and has been shown to be limited, it does certainly happen. I have linked a below article for an example (of both funding and the strictness of criteria).

Moreover, that a guilty finding does not rule out funding an appeal is supported by the criticism from legal circles about the decision of Legal Aid in the Adrian Bayley case. The article I linked in my previous reply is written by a lawyer speaking on behalf of the Australian Lawyers Alliance. These are people who know the criteria.
