BENHAM, Justice,
concurring.
Concurring fully in the opinion in this case, I take the opportunity afforded by the holding in Division 3 of the opinion that Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U. S. 579 (113 SC 2786, 125 LE2d 469) (1993), has not been adopted for use in criminal cases in Georgia to note that the contrary implication in my dissent in Smith v. State, 275 Ga. 715, 727 (571 SE2d 740) (2002), was incorrect and should not be taken as authority that Daubert has any application to criminal cases in this state.
