"Independent Investigation"
Tony Robinson's Family Speaks
On Friday April 3, 2015, the Madison Police Department released hundreds of documents related to the police killing of Tony Robinson, Jr. None of these documents referred to the moment when Madison Police Officer Matt Kenny encountered and killed Tony Robinson, Jr. As a result, the family of Tony Robinson, Jr. is quickly losing faith in the supposedly independent process that produced the report that District Attorney Ismael Ozanne is currently reviewing.
“We worry that the MPD and other officials are setting up a kangaroo court,” said Jerome Flowers, Tony Robinson’s friend. “Tony’s character is what’s being put on trial.”
The family of Tony Robinson, Jr. will hold a press conference to share their concerns with the investigation and pending release of the DA’s decision. The family will also lay out their requests for the District Attorney and the Madison Police Department. YGB and supporters will stand with the family. We will meet in front of 1125 Williamson Street, the house where Tony was killed at 11 am on Monday April 6th. We will then march to the County Courthouse at 215 S. Hamilton Street to hold the press conference in front of the building.
Join us as we demand justice.
