A judge on Monday sentenced a Milwaukee woman charged with killing the man who sexually abused her as a teenager to 11 years in prison plus five years of extended supervision. The decision ends a six-year legal saga that tested the limits of the court’s leniency toward trafficking survivors who commit crimes.
Chrystul Kizer will ultimately not serve the full 11 years in prison, after Kenosha County Judge David P. Wilk credited her with more than a year and a half of time already served.
Kizer, now 24, initially faced a possible life sentence for shooting 34-year-old Randall Volar III when she was 17. Volar, who was White, had been filming his sexual abuse of Kizer, who is Black, for more than a year.

That was a really hard article to read.
It’s good to know our prosecutors are vigorous in protecting middle-aged white men who enjoy repeatedly raping black teenagers.
The legal system really struggles to find the balance between justice and compassion in cases like these.
