Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motions to vacate his December 6, 2016 sentence. Because the trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction in the case and personal jurisdiction over appellant, any alleged sentencing error renders the judgment voidable, not void, and could only be raised on direct appeal. Because appellant could have, but did not, raise the alleged sentencing error on a direct appeal, he is now precluded from raising the issue by res judicata. Judgment affirmed.
