Chrystul Kizer, a 24-year-old woman from Milwaukee, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for the 2018 killing of Randall Volar, who she claimed was sex trafficking her. Kizer, who was 17 at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, with her defense arguing that her actions were a direct result of the violence she experienced while being trafficked. The case has drawn national attention, particularly regarding the legal protections available for trafficking victims, as a Wisconsin law allows such victims to present a defense in certain criminal cases. Kizer shot Volar after enduring months of abuse and claimed self-defense, while her attorneys highlighted systemic issues of trafficking and the exploitation of Black women. The sentencing has sparked criticism from advocates who argue that Kizer's actions were a desperate response to her circumstances, drawing comparisons to other high-profile cases. Kizer will serve an additional five years of state supervision following her prison term.
