After Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted earlier this month, another self-defense case in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is drawing renewed attention from advocates. Kami Chavis, director of the criminal justice program at Wake Forest Law, and Jessica Contrera, reporter for The Washington Post, talk about the case of Chrystul Kizer, who faces homicide charges for killing her adult sex abuser when she was 17 years old, how Kizer's case compares to Rittenhouse's, and why some claims of self-defense work better than others in court and in the media.
