A woman accused of killing a Wisconsin man she said trafficked her as a teenager may get to employ a new defense strategy in her pending murder case.
In June 2018, Chrystul Kizer was charged with shooting and killing 34-year-old Randall Volar III, then setting his home on fire and escaping in Volar’s car. At 17, Kizer was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, arson and auto theft, reported Kenosha News.

On Wednesday, June 9, the state District II Court of Appeals ruled Kizer can access an affirmative defense law, meaning she may be able to argue that her actions were the “direct result” of human trafficking.
Attorneys for Chrystul Kizer, who was 17 when she was charged with Randy Volar's murder in Kenosha, Wisc., will be allowed to present evidence that her alleged crime was linked to being sex trafficked by Volar.

KENOSHA, Wisconsin Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis said Monday he would not be bullied into firing the officer who shot and partially paralyzed Jacob Blake despite growing demands by Blake s family and other community activists.
Miskinis said he was extremely disappointed that a group of 40 protesters showed up at a rally on Sunday to demand Blake s termination and an apology to Blake s family for failing to notify it of officer Rusten Sheskey s return.
The group blocked the entrance to the Public Safety Building, which was still boarded up from huge protests when Blake was shot last August.
