Congratulations to Assistant District Attorneys Chris Buford and Lindsey Moreland, Victim Witness Coordinator Alex Ondrus, along with Investigator Randy Martin, who helped get the evidence while Investigator Steve Turner was out. The Division V Media Analyst, Michael Pointer, played a BIG role in making sure everything was together, as did Nick Griffin, the Division V Criminal Court Secretary who prepared the case for trial.
VWC Alex Ondrus says the family was extremely happy, as they’ve been waiting 7 years for this day. She admits there were “a lot of happy tears, big hugs, and hallelujah’s when they heard about the verdict. The case took an unusually long time to get to Criminal Court Trial, as the defendant was 16 years of age at the time of the murder, and had to be transferred to adult court for the eventual trial. The year-long COVID court shutdown made the wait even harder on the victim’s family, who showed great patience and unwavering belief in the District Attorney’s office and Metro Police that Justice would come soon. That day arrived with GUILTY verdicts earlier this month on charges of First Degree Premeditated Murder, First Degree Felony Murder, Especially Aggravated Robbery, and Aggravated Robbery with a Weapon.
Finally, they said, Justice for Brandon.
The family told ADA’s Chris Buford and Lindsey Moreland multiple times how great of a job they did and how appreciative they have been for all their work. The family members were super kind and patient throughout the whole week, and it was a joy to see them get a small sense of peace and justice in the face of such a devastating loss”.
Sentencing for Frazier will be April 10, 2025.
