19th JDC DA: Lee Defense Team should Follow Procedures

The Advocate reports that Doug Moreau, district attorney for the 19th JDC (East Baton Rouge Parish), claims that defense attorneys for accused serial killer Derrick Lee should follow state law in seeking additional funds for Lee's defense. Moreau says that money should be requested from the Louisiana Indigent Defense Assistance Board if the local Public Defender's Office does not have the money to provide a defense.
