In the spring of 2007 Paulsen was arrested for the murder of his wife, Leanne Serrano-Paulsen, after police found her body in the attic of their Carmel, Indiana home. Serrano-Paulsen's autopsy results indicated she died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head, and that she had been dead for two to three weeks prior to the discovery of her body.[2] The couple had a history of domestic violence, and in January 2007 J.J. Paulsen had pleaded guilty to domestic battery stemming from an incident the previous year.[3]
On December 23, 2008, Paulsen pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.[4] On March 27 of the following year, Paulsen was sentenced to 26 years in prison[5] He is incarcerated at the Miami Correctional Facility in Bunker Hill, Indiana.[1]
Margaret Cho, who met Paulsen when he worked on her 1994–95 sitcom All American Girl, subsequently wrote a song about him.[6]
