Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motions for leave to file a delayed motion for a new trial and to vacate a void conviction. The juvenile court properly bound appellant over to the general division of the common pleas court, which had jurisdiction to try and convict him of the charged offenses. The issues raised by appellant in his motion for leave regarding the testimony of a State's witness and the jury instruction used by the trial court were barred by res judicata he could have raised those issues in his direct appeal, and he raised similar issues in other post-convictions motions. The trial court also did not err when it found that appellant's motion for leave to file a delayed motion for new trial was untimely and failed to establish that he was unavoidably prevented from filing the motion in a timely manner. Judgment affirmed.
