Kizer stated in an interview from jail, "I get to try to move on. I can show the court that I'm not the same person that I was when I was 17." This reflects her desire for closure and rehabilitation.
Kizer's case highlights the ongoing debate within the criminal justice system regarding how to treat victims of sex trafficking who commit crimes against their abusers.
After pleading guilty to reckless homicide, Kizer faces up to 30 years in prison, a reduced sentence that signifies a shift towards understanding the complexities of her situation.
The evidence revealed that Volar had been exploiting multiple underage Black girls, showing systemic failures in protecting vulnerable individuals like Kizer while allowing abusers to go free.
