Syllabus

The trial court did not commit plain error by failing to merge appellant's convictions for robbery and theft at sentencing because the record indicates that those offenses were committed separately and thus were not allied offenses. Appellant's robbery and theft convictions were not against the manifest weight of the evidence there was an abundance of evidence establishing that appellant was the shoplifter in question, and the jury was free to believe witness testimony indicating that appellant threatened a store employee while fleeing the scene. Appellant waived his claim challenging the composition of the jury array given that appellant raises the claim for the first time on appeal. Judgment affirmed.
