Chrystul Kizer Sentenced for Reckless Homicide
News summary

Chrystul Kizer, a Milwaukee woman who fatally shot Randall Volar in 2018 when she was 17, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison and five years of extended supervision. Kizer, who argued that she acted in self-defense after years of being trafficked and abused by Volar, accepted a plea deal to avoid a life sentence. The Wisconsin Supreme Court had ruled in 2022 that Kizer could present evidence of her abuse and trafficking as part of her defense. Despite evidence showing Volar had abused multiple underage girls, prosecutors maintained that Kizer's actions were premeditated. Kizer's case has sparked significant debate over the legal protections available to sex trafficking victims. She has already served over a year and a half of her sentence and will face a restitution hearing on November 8.
