Beasley, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
I agree with Chief Judge Pope except as follows. First, McChargue v. State, 209 Ga. App. 612 (434 SE2d 153) (1993), should be overruled. I stand by the dissent in that case. Second, the distinction in treatment between direct and circumstantial evidence should not be abolished. However, charging the jury in the language of *887OCGA § 24-4-6 should be abolished. See the reasons therefor in Roura v. State, 214 Ga. App. 43 (447 SE2d 52) (1994).
