Syllabus

R.C. 2941.25 – ALLIED OFFENSES – ANIMUS – SENTENCING – MURDER – AGGRAVATED ROBBERY –EVIDENCE – SUFFICIENCY AND WEIGHT: Where the offenses of murder and aggravated robbery were committed with a separate animus, the trial court did not err in imposing separate sentences for each offense pursuant to R.C. 2941.25. Defendant's convictions for felony murder and aggravated robbery were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the evidence showed that defendant planned to rob the victim, approached the victim with a firearm and demanded money, and shot the victim when the victim reached for his own weapon and where the trial court specifically stated that defendant's account of the events and defendant's alibi witness were not credible.
