(WGTD)---Chrystul Kizer’s attorney is making another attempt to get a judge to lower her $1 million bond.
Kizer is the 19-year-old Milwaukee woman who killed a Kenosha man who was involved in highly-questionable activities with girls.
Defense attorney Carl Johnson has filed a motion asking Judge David Wilk to lower Kizer’s bond to $100,000, saying Kizer poses no danger to the community. Johnson describes Kizer as a victim of “child trafficking.”
In an unusual defense of his handling of the case, Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley took to Facebook last month to note that Kizer, in three separate police interviews, never once described herself as a human trafficking victim. He also said he was bothered by the pre-meditated nature of the crime.
The case has attracted national attention.
A citizens’ support group has sprung up in her defense.
In his bond reduction motion, Johnson said Kizer, if released, would live with her mother in Milwaukee, work with anti-human trafficking advocacy groups, seek employment and her high school equivalency degree.
In September, Judge Wilk rejected a defense motion to lower Kizer’s bond to $50,000.
A hearing on the latest request to lower bond to $100,000 is expected to be held a week from today.
