TRENTON, N.J. (AP) A federal judge has dismissed some claims but allowed others to go forward in the case of a former police officer with a history of domestic violence who admitted killing his ex-wife in front of their 7-year-old daughter.
In the lawsuit filed in 2017, the family of Tamara Wilson-Seidle alleged that the Monmouth County prosecutor’s office and individual prosecutors should be liable for not disciplining Philip Seidle and for returning his service weapon to him despite his history of domestic violence and excessive force complaints. The suit also named the Neptune police department, which employed Seidle.
