After Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal, advocates have turned back to the case of teen Chrystul Kizer, whose lawyers are invoking a self-defense argument in her killing of a man who sexually abused and trafficked her.

Every abuse victim in prison should be immediately released.

Not comparable to Rittenhouse’s case, also he should have gotten time Reminds me of Cyntoia Brown, got 15 yrs for murder, which it wasn’t Same as with Kizer, but should she be acquitted of all charges? Based on what she went through, maybe yes. But the law may say different.

Good.

A black woman abused in Wisconsin? Expect the worst from those judges, jury, and people. Her only defense could be if the victim was black, had a skateboard, or was protesting against police brutality. Maybe then, and just maybe she could have a chance.

She stands NO chance, she’s Black, and republicans don’t care first based on that, and second, they have no issue with sexual deviants harming innocent young folks, ugh.

I'd like to know more details of this case. I don't see why she can't argue in front of the jury that it was self-defense and let them decide.

'Because the reality is that Chrystul Kizer was not kept safe by police and prosecution and incarceration and, in fact, after she was forced to defend herself and she chose to survive, she was then further harmed by those systems.'

I'm sure the people who defended the guy that hunted people for sport will clamor to this case of actual self defense, right? Right?

Why don’t you use the word pedophile to describe the person who held her against her will? Seems more appropriate.

Whelp there you go. Use it . now go get her ass out of jail!

“…advocates have turned back to the case of teen Chrystul Kizer” because it became the shiniest object once again. So many armchair advocates.

Nah she’ll be convicted

Self defense is not allowed for some people.

Let's see how this one goes...

Doesn’t work for females.

The two cases are different. It sounds like the guy she killed had it coming but self defense probably doesn't apply because she wasn't in immediate danger. However, battered women's syndrome may be a factor and may amount to some type of self defense.

Being sexually abused and trafficked is a hell of a lot more life threatening than an unarmed man running at you when you are holding an AR-15.

With Kizer and Rittenhouse cases, misogyny and racism are about to be thrown into stark relief. The prosecution will also successfully obfuscate -- rape as sex and not as an act of violence -- because our society so consistently falls for that.

My son James Bonds 215403, 20 yrs in prison, and the Judge and DA said he had no involvement. Make it make sense... Help him plz.

This happened the same day

They're not similar cases, though. My comic dealt with this several years ago. The chapter on self-defense starts here: but the part relevant to Kizer's case starts here:

Remember when kyle robbed the people he killed and then set a house on fire?

Advocates of what?
