A woman from Wisconsin, who has confessed to killing her suspected rapist and setting fire to his house, was captured in Louisiana this week by federal authorities. She was taken into custody on a bail-jumping warrant from Kenosha County, as per Law and Crime.
Chrystul Kizer Faces New Legal Hurdles
Currently on a $400,000 bond awaiting trial for the 2018 death of Randall Volar III, is facing additional legal challenges after being charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct last month in a separate Milwaukee domestic violence case. The Milwaukee incident has led to bail jumping charges filed against Kizer by Kenosha County prosecutors, alleging a violation of the conditions of her bond, which prohibited her from committing any crimes.
Despite attempts to reach out for comment, Kizer's attorney has not responded to phone messages and emails from The Associated Press as of Tuesday.
Scheduled for June 10, Kizer's trial in the homicide case involves the death of Volar, a 34-year-old Kenosha man. Prosecutors assert that Volar sexually assaulted Kizer and other underage girls, backed by seized videotapes depicting some of the assaults. Kizer was 17 at the time of the killing.
While respecting the privacy of sexual assault victims, The Associated Press acknowledges that Kizer discussed her case in a 2019 interview with The Washington Post.
Kizer's Extradition Amidst Intensifying Legal Battle
In addition to the homicide charges, Kizer now faces felony bail jumping charges linked to battery, disorderly conduct, resisting an officer, and failure to update her address to the court. A warrant for her arrest has been issued by a Kenosha County judge.
Sheriff David Zoerner stated late Monday that Kizer is expected to be extradited to Kenosha County to face local charges first. At 23 years old, Kizer spent nearly two years in jail following her initial charge of first-degree intentional homicide, being released on the aforementioned $400,000 bond raised by activist groups. If convicted, she could potentially face life in prison.
Randall Volar, the alleged victim in the homicide case, had been under investigation for producing child pornography and sexual abuse. The trial date for the homicide case is set for June 10 in Kenosha County Circuit Court, with a motion hearing scheduled for March 15.
Kizer, who was 17 at the time of the charges, is accused of shooting Volar twice in the head and later set his residence on 7732 14th Ave. ablaze. She also faces charges of taking and driving a vehicle without consent, arson of a building without the owner's consent, bail jumping, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The legal saga continues to unfold as Kizer prepares to confront the charges against her in court, Wisconsin State Journal reported.
