JILL Meagher's alleged killer is getting "Rolls-Royce" taxpayer-funded legal representation despite other accused criminals having their aid cut.
Legal sources have raised concerns over priority treatment for alleged rapist and killer Adrian Bayley.
He was represented by both a barrister and solicitor in at least one procedural hearing before a magistrate - which is rare under Victoria Legal Aid guidelines.
And the cash-strapped VLA has funded a solicitor to visit Mr Bayley up to twice a day since his September arrest, legal sources say.
Those fighting cost-cutting say the accused killer has been given "priority" treatment.
