$10 cocaine debt leads to wife's shooting, man testifies as Mobile murder trial begins. A man who admitted he and his common law wife were addicted to cocaine told a Mobile jury today that she was shot with a bullet meant for him because he had not paid a $10 cocaine debt. Robert Cain said Dorne Dewaine Wheeler shot into his pickup truck on July 7, 2007, striking his common law wife, Judy Logan. She died nearly three weeks later. Cain said Logan, 47, had just gotten out of prison on a robbery sentence and that five days later they were looking for cocaine in Alabama Village in Prichard when Wheeler, 27, spotted them. Cain said Wheeler shot into his truck, striking Logan. A forensic specialist later testified that the bullet from a 9 mm rifle went through her arm, ribs and lung, before stopping in her spine. The murder trial before Circuit Judge Michael Youngpeter resumes Tuesday.
