Carley, Justice,
concurring.
I fully join in the majority’s opinion affirming the judgments of conviction entered on the jury’s guilty verdicts. In Division 1, the majority disposes of Philpot’s enumeration of error regarding the sufficiency of the evidence of the aggravating circumstance set forth in OCGA § 17-10-30 (b) (3) as to the murder of Bobby Grimes, and I fully agree with this disposition. However, I write separately to note that, although not specifically enumerated as error, the evidence was also sufficient to enable the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt the existence of the aggravating circumstances set forth in both subsections (b) (1) and (b) (3) of OCGA § 17-10-30 as to the murder of Adrian Chester.
