In a 19-page written decision, U.S. District Judge David Hurd ruled that LaBella and Roefaro are not entitled to individual “immunity” from a wrongful death lawsuit that accuses them and the Utica Police Department of failing to protect Palumbo-Longo from her husband, Utica police Investigator Joseph Longo Jr. On at least five occasions, Palumbo-Longo contacted police about her husband’s troubling behavior in the weeks leading up to Sept. 28, 2009, the day Longo Jr. fatally stabbed his wife more than a dozen times inside their Deerfield home following a divorce proceeding.

Zalewski...OFFICER IN LONGO CASE REMAINS OUT OF WORK<br />Zalewski applies for unpaid leave from force<br />Utica Observer-Dispatch<br />By ROCCO LaDUCA<br />Posted Jan 30, 2010 @ 10:42 PM<br />Last update Jan 30, 2010 @ 10:44 PM<br />Based on payroll records kept at the city Comptroller’s Office, it would appear that Utica police Officer Kate Zalewski has been showing up at work every day. But for the past 4½ months, Zalewski has been out on paid leave ever since her lover and col league, Utica police Investigator Joseph Longo Jr., stabbed his wife, Kristin, to death and then killed him self in late September 2009... Normally, the city Comptroller’s Office keeps specific records on employees’ pay and days off. In this instance, it has not been provided with those details by the police department... “You’d think most people understand that what she went through was very difficult, and we’d love to have another officer working than not,” [Police union’s president, Sgt. Thomas] Brady said. “But we wouldn’t want her to come back here if she’s not ready to come back. You have to be on your toes. It’s a big decision to make, and it’s her decision to make.” [Full article <a href="http://www.uticaod.com/news/x1878073379/Officer-in-Longo-case-remains-out-of-work" rel="nofollow">here</a>]Behind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.com
