No Charges For Officer In Tony Robinson Case
Madison, Wisconsin, police officer Matt Kenny, who fatally shot unarmed teen Tony Robinson in March, will not face charges, the district attorney said Tuesday.
“I conclude that this tragic and unfortunate death was the result of a lawful use of deadly police force and that no charges should be brought against Officer Kenny in the death of Tony Robinson Jr.,” said Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne.
On Tuesday, Chris Ahmuty, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, criticized the decision not to file charges as leaving a “cloud of uncertainty” over the circumstances of and responsibility for Robinson’s death.
“If Officer Kenny did not violate the law, then is anyone legally responsible for Mr. Robinson’s death?” Ahmuty said in a statement. “Does the criminal law protect individuals like Mr. Robinson from deadly force exercised by police officers? Are police officers above the law?”
Unfortunately, before the announcement of the decision had been made, the majority of the conference was used to destroy his name anyway they could.
At a Tuesday evening press conference, Robinson’s grandmother, Sharon Irwin, said he had been “slandered from the beginning” and decried the way he had been portrayed by the district attorney and in local news.
“I will miss him for the rest of my life, when you go home and don’t have to deal with this anymore,” Irwin said. “This is forever for me.”
The worst part about this injustice? before todays press conference, the DA literally waited until Mothers Day to deliver their decision “early.”
