    She Wasn't A Perfect Victim; The Chrystul Kizer Story

    What happens when survival is treated like a crime? In this episode of The Black Docket, we break down the case of Chrystul Kizer, a teenage girl who was trafficked, groomed, and controlled by an older man, and later charged with homicide after killing him. What followed wasn’t just a trial, but a legal battle that forced Wisconsin courts to confront a question they’d never had to answer before: Can a trafficking victim claim self-defense when survival turns violent? This is a story about the law catching up too late. About how courts decide who gets grace, who gets blamed, and who gets forgotten. We walk through the grooming, the charges, the landmark appeals that reshaped Wisconsin law, and the years Chrystul spent growing up inside jail while judges debated theory. No perfect victims. No easy answers. Just the reality of what happens when trauma doesn’t fit neatly into the system. January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and this case reminds us that trafficking doesn’t always look the way we expect. If you care about true crime, court cases, criminal justice reform, or stories the system struggles to tell honestly this docket is for you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify ⭐ Follow The Black Docket for long-form, courtroom-focused true crime  🗣️ Join the conversation  because silence doesn’t protect communities.  When it’s on the docket, we gon’ clock it.

    Attempted Murder on Saddle Ridge Drive: How Judge Sonya McKnight Fell from the Bench

    A Pennsylvania judge goes from “All rise” to “Guilty” – but this time, she’s the one on the other side of the bench. In this episode of The Black Docket, we dive into the rise and fall of former Dauphin County Judge Sonya McKnight, a Black woman who beat the odds, won a magisterial seat in Harrisburg, and built a reputation as the judge who “understood the community.” But behind the robe, the story at home was chaos: protection-from-abuse orders, a volatile marriage, blurred lines between “mom” and “judge,” and a long history of the system trying to check her. Everything explodes on a quiet street in Susquehanna Township when her boyfriend, Michael McCoy, goes to bed in his own house and wakes up blind in one eye, shot in the head while he slept. With only two people in the home that night, the question for the jury is simple: if he says he didn’t shoot himself… then who did? We walk through the case step by step If you’re into Black true crime, courtroom cases, judicial misconduct, domestic violence, and stories about what happens when the legal system turns on its own – especially when it’s us on the docket – this episode is for you.
