After hearing that Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne would not file charges against Officer Matt Kenny for the death of Tony Robinson, his mother, Andrea Irwin, says that her quest for justice has not ended.

“I’m absolutely not gonna let this go,” Irwin told WKOW-TV. “I’m gonna go on whatever avenue I can. My lawyers have all the information, we will be talking in the morning, I know a big question is: yes, we will file a civil suit.”

Irwin is not alone in her calls for justice. She noted that friends of Robinson had organized a march from from Williamson Street, where he was killed, to the Capitol in protest.

“They give me hope that this won’t die away, they won’t quit,” Irwin said. “They are just as passionate about this as I am. And I see it in them, their energy, these children are going to take this experience and move on to do big things. And be people that will make change and will do things right by the next generation.”

She also said that she and her attorney would be reviewing the investigation and looking into their next step.

“Justice will come,” Irwin said. “We will get justice. Do not think for one second that this is the end because it’s not. It’s the beginning. I will not stop. This is my life and I live and breathe this and until the day I get justice for my son — this is not over.”
