After nearly six years since being charged with murder, arson, bail-jumping, and car theft, Chrystul Kizer has plead guilty for the June 5, 2018 murder Randall P. Volar III. On this date, she shot him in the back of the head, burned his house down, and stole his car. Kizer admitted as much to detectives with the Kenosha Police Department.

In the plea deal that was accepted today by Judge David Wilk, Kizer plead guilty to a lesser charge of “Second Degree Reckless Homicide, Use Of A Dangerous Weapon.” The maximum sentence is 20 years in state prison, followed by 10 years of extended release. The stealing of the BMW, setting the house on fire, and six counts of felony bail jumping were all dismissed. Dismissed, but “read-in”, were a count of arson and a count of felony bail-jumping. This was likely done for restitution reasons.

Randall P. Volar III was a pedophile that videotaped himself having sex with multiple underage girls. He also had in his possession, hundreds of images and videos of chil porn. Kizer argued that Volar sex-trafficked her and that is why she killed him. The prosecutors tried to prevent the trafficking defense. The court agreed with the prosecutors. The defense attorneys successfully had Judge Wilk’s ruling overturned by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley (D) told KCE that the plea agreement was fair and equitable.
“I think both sides decided having and knowing what evidence would come in, knowing how the law has been interpreted now by the State Supreme Court, and knowing what the trial court rulings are, both sides had the best ability to assess what a jury might think about this case, and also what the appropriate sentence was. And yeah, I think it is an ability for both sides to come to an agreement that will allow all sides to recommend what they think is necessary in the case, but also, acknowledges all the difficult facts for either side,” Graveley told KCE Wednesday after court.
On June 22, 2020, a liberal activist lawyer named Sharlyn Grace (D) (they/them), of the Chicago Community Bond Fund, posted the $400,000 for Kizer to be released. Grace works for the Cook County Public Defender’s office and thinks that cash bail should be eliminated – even for murder.
Graveley indicated on the record today that he will be filing a motion to forfeit Kizer’s $400,000 bond, or what will remain of it, after restitution. The cost of bringing Kizer to Kenosha, Volar’s house and funeral costs will likely be included in the restitution request. If Graveley’s motion is approved, then there is no chance that Sharlyn Grace (D) (they/them), of the Chicago Community Bond Fund will get a penny back from the court system, dealing a big blow to the organization’s credibility.
Kizer will be sentenced on August 19, 2024 at 9am.

They got what they wanted at the end i knew they were going to stall so that she could mess up and they got it.
Everyone stalled so lawyers could make money off the case and add it to their resumes.
The pedo didn’t deserve the air he breathed, but Kizer was far from innocent. Her boyfriend/pimp had been selling her for quite a while and she went along with it for the money. She only killed the pedo to rob him.
I hope she moves far away after her inadequate sentence is completed… she isn’t done doing stupid things.
Right, the state-employed prosecutors and public defenders delayed to make more money. Moron.
Is this Mike Gravely ?
>Grace works for the Cook County Public Defender’s office and thinks that cash bail should be eliminated – ever for murder.
Usually, such individuals are held without bail. The point is that if people are believed to be a danger to the community, the difference between being held until trial and not being held shouldn’t be some absurd unpayable amount of money, like the Rittenhouse case where it was $2m. People are meant to be treated as innocent until proven guilty.
Usually bail is set in the millions of dollars, but I’m not aware of many times that someone is held without bail unless it’s temporary until they get a formal hearing. You have a right to reasonable bail, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
In Wisconsin you can be held without bail for murder or rape, or for any violent crime if you’ve committed one in the past.
This is done when the individual is thought to be a threat to the community, but usually in Wisconsin bail for felonies is unpayable, in the five figures or six figures for serious charges. It’s a travesty.
The plea deal also saves the terrible manner in which the DA and the police department handled this case from being exposed.
I think she was justified in killing that scumbag and performed a public service. Only an apologist for pedophilia would give more than a slap on the wrist.
Forget it. She’s a cold-blooded murderer. She didn’t kill Volar to improve society. She did it to steal his car for her brother.
You conveniently forget that the supposedly good people of Wisconsin have repeatedly said that there is absolutely nothing you can do in Wisconsin for which you would be punished by death. The guy wasn’t worth the air he breathed, but she gave him the death penalty so maybe we need a public opinion poll on whether or not she gets executed?
She did society a favor.

Is this right? “The prosecutors tried to prevent the trafficking defense. The court agreed with the prosecutors. “
Yes this is correct. The judges overturned by the supreme Court
My bad.
Ghetto ass mofos
Too $hort should write a diddy about her! 😆
Funeral and a huge booze party for the family. Get another case of Jack Daniels honey, it’s all on Crystal! I’m sure that will be approved. Has in the past!
All the liberal tears are flowing. They lost their bail money and the state got a Guilty. Whats the bet on how much time she will get?
Is she currently in custody?
Yes
Yet again what an absolutely disgusting abuse of power. Prosecute the abused child, not the reported pedophile, right? This man was already accused and on the radar of the local authorities, and when a child finally defends herself – SHE is the bad guy?
Another abhorrent actions demanding she pay for her abusers funeral.
Fucking disgusting. You cannot convince me that the DA and the judges who have presided over these pedo cases here in Kenosha aren’t pedophiles themselves.
Just what a disgusting clusterfuck of sickos.
Trying to justify murder in a state that doesn’t even have the death penalty? You are the sicko.
Don’t murder, there’s that.
