Syllabus

R.C. 2929.03 R.C. 2929.191 aggravated murder void sentence parole eligibility correct judgment of conviction postrelease control. Where the trial court imposes a sentence for aggravated murder that does not comport with the statutory language in R.C. 2929.03, the trial court exceeds its authority in sentencing. A sentence is not void where, pursuant to R.C. 2929.191 and Supreme Court precedent, the trial court corrects a judgment entry to reflect that it imposed postrelease control.
