Is there any case law where a defendant's DNA has been found on a glove?

Diaz also relies on an Indiana case, Meehan v. State (2013) 986 N.E.2d 371. There, the police found a glove with the defendant's DNA near the point of entry at a burglarized business. No other evidence tied the defendant to the crime. A forensic biologist testified there was no way to tell how long the defendant's DNA had been on the glove. (Id. at p. 373.) The appellate court reversed the conviction stating "there was no evidence that would support an inference that [defendant]'s DNA was found on the

glove because he handled it during the burglary, as opposed to some other time." (Id. at p. 376.)
