Was it??

The appellee's brief is in. I think their answer to your question would be a strong "no."
If anyone wants to read it: here is the case # 24A-CR-01769

Indiana Courts Case Search - MyCase

Indiana Supreme Court, Public Access

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."

It's approaching 3 years since Ciera disappeared. I wish she would be found. Thinking of her loved ones.

It’s been three years since 31-year-old Ciera Breland vanished without a trace and while investigators said it remains an ongoing investigation, they have no active leads.

Such a shame and tragedy for all concerned.

[...]
Xavier told investigators his wife simply left their home without her cell phone, keys or her infant son and never returned. However, detectives didn’t buy that story.

Soon after, police said Xavier stopped cooperating with investigators and was labeled a person of interest in Ciera’s disappearance.

“Xavier is still a person of interest at this time,” Cap. Deb Coble with the Johns Creek Police Department said.

You're welcome.
He appealed to the Indiana Court of Appeals and they affirmed his sentence. Then he filed a petition for it to be transferred to the IN Supreme Court, which was just recently denied.
