Seneca reacts to federal court filing

Seneca has issued a statement in response to reports that lawyers for the Hammond family have entered the federal court system in an attempt to pry loose investigative findings of what happened to the Hammond’s son.  The city issued this statement:  “The City of Seneca has cooperated with all investigators in this case and like everyone involved we await its conclusion.  The 10th Circuit Solicitor’s Office has not released its investigative findings on the case.  The federal investigation has not been completed.  This is the same DOJ (Department of Justice) investigation the attorney who is suing the City of Seneca called for in the first place.  It is the same investigation that he says now is ‘delaying the outcome.’  We believe the justice system needs to be allowed to do its job and to comment directly on the matters of the case at this time is hearsay.”
