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.

its always like "man gets upset, kills somebody, 2 years"

"woman abused for years, kills him, 10 years"

Ill reserve the rest of my opinion but two in the head is cleaner than an abuser of that magnitude earned for themselves, feels like at that point you're basically just preventing any more victims they would have made. Cops have walked away free men after worse executions for worse reasons.

I hope someone shook her hand and thanked her for her service before they put her away.

Is jail where they give her her medal of honor?

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let killer cops go free, jail the victims of the failed justice system.

The cruelty seems to be the point.

Good kill. Still murder. She is not a threat to society though...so...11years hardly-enforced house arrest might be more fitting.

[–] BlackDragon@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 years ago

Fuck that, give her a medal and a therapist and send her on her way. Killing this guy was not a crime it was community service.

Sounds to me like she has a new abuser.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

The only punishment she should have ever received is mandatory therapy. This is a fucking traumatized woman, and you are adding to the trauma.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I feel like, if this was Texas... there would be no punishment for her. She was severely wronged and he was clearly a danger to society. He had multiple victims. The police had evidence and released him. If he had been in jail, if he had been in custody and not roaming around free, he'd still be alive if that was oh, so fucking important.

I'm going to say it louder for the people in the back. They found proof of multiple victims. They knew he did it, he was let go. The "legal" system failed not only Chrystul, but the surrounding community.

Time for some Shawshank redemption shit

That poor girl, this world is so disgustingly unfair.

Now with that said, it is not your place to obtain whatever you may think is "justice". We have no need or want for vigilantism, all that creates is more opportunities for mistakes to happen and innocents hurt.

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Was it vigilantism? Did you read up on the case? Do you ever stop to think, why is it so easy for these fuckers to sex traffic girls? How they typically manage to get away with it for so long, against so many different women? You know, it's ALMOST like the system is set up to make it easier for them to commit the crime than it is for the girls to find a safe way out. Weird, huh?

Yes it is your place. If the law doesn't account for that and unjustly puts you behind bars, the problem is with the law.
