Chrystul Kizer agrees a plea deal to avoid life term for shooting dead Randall Volar, whom she said was her sex-trafficker.

A Milwaukee woman has been jailed for 11 years for killing the man that prosecutors said had sex trafficked her as a teenager.

The sentence, issued on Monday, ends a six-year legal battle for Chrystul Kizer, now 24, who had argued she should be immune from prosecution.

Kizer was charged with reckless homicide for shooting Randall Volar, 34, in 2018 when she was 17. She accepted a plea deal earlier this year to avoid a life sentence.

Volar had been filming his sexual abuse of Kizer for more than a year before he was killed.

Kizer said she met Volar when she was 16, and that the man sexually assaulted her while giving her cash and gifts. She said he also made money by selling her to other men for sex.

    FOR FUCKS SAKE CHILDREN. 100% OF THE TIME YOU TRAVEL TO ANOTHER TOWN WITH A GUN, SHOOT SOMEONE TWICE IN THE HEAD KILLING THEM, THEN BURN THEIR HOUSE DOWN AND FLEE YOU WILL 100% FACE JAILTIME. 11 YEARS TO COMMIT PREMEDITATED MURDER IS A VERY FUCKIN FAVORABLE DEAL AND SHE WOULD BE RETARDED NOT TO ACCEPT. Fuck me the amount of people in here saying lies that she killed him to escape or that she deserves a fuckin pardon is absolutely retarded. Yeah dude she killed 100% deserved it but so does her receiving 11 years as the consequence.

      Well, not 100%, Rittenhouse didn’t face a day of jail time. Though I guess he killed two people instead of burning a house down.

        He was able to show an imminent need of self defense. I don’t agree with the outcome of his case, but they aren’t the same thing.

          You don’t think she faced an imminent need of self defense in the house of the man who abused and trafficked her? We don’t know the details, but that seems like a pretty threatening situation to me. We can say that she put herself in that situation, but so did Rittenhouse.

            Do some research on the case. She was free and then traveled back to kill him and burn his house down.

            Very cool, very righteous. Unfortunately premeditated revenge killing is illegal, though.

        I mean I guess lol usually people use examples from the country in question or atleast examples from more recent cases than 50 years ago. I also did not expect that the example would also show that the act of vigilante justice from Germany 50 yeas ago still was convicted and sentenced to 6 years and patrolled in 3. It’s a little shorter than the 10 or 11 years from the posted article but unless she kills again in prison, she’ll be out before serving 10. I personally know a shitbag who was convicted of dwi manslaughter for killing another driver between 5-12 years ago about and he was sentenced to 6 and released without fuckin parole after only 3 years for good behavior.

        Everything that happened to this woman is fuckin horrible and as long as the person she killed was undoubtedly the person responsible, then noone is arguing he didn’t deserve to die. However the other people here saying this is bullshit and that if she was white she’d be Scott free is absolutely marginalizing the hell this woman went thru and the sacrifice she KNEW she would face as the cost of taking justice in her own hands. It is so fucking commendable and respectable to do what she did but the 10 years was inevitable and is par for the course for this type of conviction in the US justice dept.
