Syllabus

The trial court did not err by recasting appellant's so-called verified motion to correct sentence as an untimely petition for postconviction relief that was barred by the doctrine of res judicata where such a petition was filed nearly ten years after a jury found him guilty of murder, three counts of tampering with evidence, and intimidation of a witness, thereby alleviating any need for the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing.
