(1) Kizer has not been convicted. She's awaiting trial.
(2) The man she killed was a convicted sex offender for whom I have exactly zero sympathy.
(3) Unlike the Rittenhouse case, there is no video showing what happened.
(4) There is ample evidence she planned his death.

I mean there are text messages that night reasonably inferring she was going to his house specifically to kill him. That's...really damaging to a self-defense claim. It's *still* possible that she did, in that moment, still act in lawful self-defense. But much more complicated.
You can read more below. I want to be very clear - the asshole she killed was a horrible human being who deserved a lifetime of punishment. I have an infinite amount of sympathy for Kizer. She lived through complete hell.

But the thing with self-defense claims is that they're incredibly fact-specific and you need to take those facts into account when comparing cases. It also helps to...not screw up basic facts in the first place.
Like, yes, if Rittenhouse sent a bunch of texts saying he was going to show up at Rosenbaum's house and kill him, then shot him to death and burned the house down before not owning up to it for several days...my opinion of his self-defense claim is VERY different.
