Syllabus

Allied offenses sentence void res judicata findings. Where the trial court made no findings that the offenses were allied prior to imposing separate sentences for each offense, the sentence was not void and the defendant should have raised any issue regarding allied offenses in his direct appeal. Because he did not do so, his postconviction motion to correct his sentence was barred by res judicata, and the trial court therefore properly denied the motion.
