Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the petitioner's due process rights were violated when several arguable issues apply to why the petitioner's sentence was excessive given the 18 years when the maximum is 20 years, and whether the state assumed provocation was not an order when the video that depicts the incident contains a quote to the contrary
