Syllabus

Nunc pro tunc clerical void jurisdiction conviction sentence direct appeal res judicata indictment defective. The trial court properly exercised its continuing jurisdiction to issue a nunc pro tunc journal entry and defendant is barred by res judicata from challenging the validity of the trial court's corrected journal entry. Whether an indictment was defective was an issue that could have been raised on direct appeal. Defendant did not challenge the sufficiency of his indictment at trial or on direct appeal and, therefore, res judicata barred his attempt to raise the issue of a defective indictment many years after his conviction.
