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.

    They were dead when they got shot in the head, everything else is largely unrelated to the punishment in my opinion its just cathartic. She couldve done far far worse to him than a quick execution, id have probably ripped out his nails and teeth and then killed him with a power washer via the worst enema.

      What if the house fire she set caused other houses to catch on fire and kill the families living there?

      There’s an argument for her going to jail for arson if anything.

          You don’t believe the state destroying all of someones possessions after conviction then death doesn’t add to cruel and unusual punishment?

            The difference here is the actions of a state versus the actions of an individual. When its the actions of an individual it should be a case by case IMO burning shit is kinda instinctive. But for the state it is a seperate case altogether since instinct shouldnt factor in. Also this would better be covered by arson and wrongful destruction of property.

      Mutilating a corpse is also grounds for worse punishment.

      However she chose burning down the house to hide the evidence no matter how much sympathy we have for the victim, it’s hard to get past that she was free, she showed premeditation, she drove a considerable distance to find him, she murdered him, and she attempted to hide evidence.

        What part of not cruel and unusual punishment since ya cant punish the dead are ya not getting. Im only addressing that element not the rest of the shit, improper handling of a corpse, grand theft auto, and arson are their own charges.
