In Wisconsin, a Kenosha County court has sentenced Chrystul Kizer to 11 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to charges related to the killing in self-defense of the man who sex trafficked and assaulted her in 2018. She was 17 at the time; he had abused her since she was 16. Court records show Kenosha police knew the man, Randall Volar, who was white, had a history of sexually abusing Black girls and was under investigation for sex trafficking, but he remained free for months. Kizer says she shot and killed Volar in self-defense after he drugged her and tried to rape her.
From what I read, it seems like if she just shot the guy she might have gotten off. I think the big thing that sunk her was lighting the house on fire and stealing the car.
That being said, it's a fucking miscarriage of justice that it even got that far in the first place. Dude was already arrested and released on multiple sex crime charges and possession of a ton of CSAM.
Its fucking disgusting that our legal system lets these vulnerable people just fend for themselves and the second they do a crime against their abusers they get treated like the bigger criminal.
I guess the moral of the story is the classic "one crime at a time" /s
