The appellee's brief is in. I think their answer to your question would be a strong "no."Was it??
If anyone wants to read it: here is the case # 24A-CR-01769
Here are a couple of statements from the brief:
"DNA found on the gun was 930 billion times more likely to originate from Breland and an
unknown individual than two unknown individuals."
...
"The trial court identified the aggravating circumstances of Breland’s criminal history,
including his violations of pretrial release and failure to appear in the present case,
and his threat to a courtroom observer, which the court characterized as
“outrageous” conduct (Tr. Vol. II 207). The trial court also considered Breland’s
conduct issues while incarcerated in the Hamilton County Jail (Tr. Vol. II 207). The
trial court found no mitigating factors and sentenced Breland to 12 years."
