The victims who don't count: Seven states ban victim aid to people with criminal records

Good read, but man, trying to read that infographic style title gave me an aneurysm.

I have a friend here in Colorado that has had issues getting aid and among other stuff because he has a dismissed felony on his record. A dismissal, not even a conviction. Our criminal justice system is garbage when it comes to stuff like this.

That front page animation is gorgeous.
