Suspended Neptune cop Philip Seidle admits guilt in murdering ex-wife
Philip Seidle pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child on Thursday.
Philip Seidle, the former Neptune, N.J cop, has admitted guilt in shooting his ex-wife in front of their 7-year-old daughter in broad daylight in Asbury Park, NJ.
Seidle, 51, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child on Thursday.
The prosecution will ask for a 30 year sentence with 85 percent parole ineligibility, meaning he would not be eligible for parole until he serves 25 years.
Philip Seidle admits guilt
Seidle admitted to firing 12 times in the direction of Tamara Wilson-Seidle, disregarding the risk that she would die. He said that she had been interfering with his custody of their nine children in the 3½ years they had been separated and that morning, he learned from his daughter that another man had moved in.
He admitted that after the shooting, he sent a text to his children that said “Your mother is dead because of her actions”, reports APP.com
The terrifying incident
About 11:30 a.m. on June 16 last year, near the intersection of Sewell and Ridge avenues in Asbury Park, N.J., Seidle shot and killed his 51-year-old ex-wife as the Seidles’ 7-year-old daughter watched from her father’s Honda Pilot. He fired two rounds of 12 shots from his .40-caliber service pistol into the driver door and windshield of Wilson-Seidle’s car, authorities said.
