A Detroit psychiatrist testified that Paul Len Stedman 27 appeared very passive masochistic and unable to grasp the wrongfulness of his act after he shot his ex wife Debra K Holcomb 22 four times at her parents home on June 5 in a second degree murder trial. The witness said Stedman did not act consciously during the homicide and discussed his troubled marriage and self declared alcoholism as the defense prepared to cross examine. The trial recessed for lunch and resumes with further testimony.
