Bernard Carr entered a guilty plea to charges of armed robbery and voluntary manslaughter. Carr later filed a “petition to correct a void sentence,” arguing that the sentence was illegal because the crime of armed robbery merged with the crime of voluntary manslaughter. The trial court denied his motion, and Carr appeals. As we find Carr waived any objection to his sentence by entering a guilty plea to the charges and specifically agreeing to separate, concurrent sentences for each charge, in exchange for the dismissal of five other charges, we affirm. “Because the evidence is uncontroverted and there is no question concerning the credibility of witnesses, we conduct a de novo review of the trial court’s application of the law to the undisputed facts.”1 So viewed, the facts show that the State charged Carr with murder, two counts of felony murder, armed robbery, burglary, and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the death of Aaron Pounds, Jr. Five co-defendants were also charged Thereafter, Carr entered a guilty plea to one count of armed robbery. Carr, the State, and the trial court agreed to delay sentencing and to postpone disposition of the remaining six charges against Carr until he testified at trial against one of his co-defendants, Antonio Freeman.2
As agreed, Carr testified against Antonio Freeman. The evidence introduced at trial was summarized by our Supreme Court in Freeman v. State .3 At trial, Carr testified that he, Freeman, and another co-defendant, Henry Thomas, plotted to rob Aaron Pounds upon learning that Pounds had a large quantity of marijuana. After gaining entry to Pounds’s apartment, Thomas paged Carr and Freeman, and they knocked on the door and were admitted into the apartment. Both Carr and Freeman were armed with handguns. Accompanied by Pounds’s two younger brothers —who were eight and fifteen at the time —Carr and Freeman proceeded to Pounds’s bedroom, where they found him in bed. Carr and Freeman drew their handguns and ordered Pounds’s brothers to lay on the bed. Carr retrieved money and marijuana he located under Pounds’s bed and mattress. When Pounds attempted to grab the money, Freeman fatally shot him in the abdomen.
