TRENTON - A federal judge has narrowed the grounds on which the children of former Neptune police Sgt. Philip Seidle can sue officials with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office over a decision to rearm their father with the gun he used to kill their mother in 2015.
U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp last week dismissed some of the counts in a federal lawsuit brought by the nine children of Philip and Tamara Wilson Seidle against the prosecutor’s office and some staff members, past and present, while allowing other portions of the lawsuit to proceed.

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.
