Deen, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
It is acknowledged that Kornegay v. State, 174 Ga. App. 279 (329 SE2d 601) cited in the majority opinion, is an extremely important case and one which involved all judges on our court; however, it is without binding precedential value. Four judges voted with the majority (two of the four also concurring specially for additional reasons); one judge concurred in the judgment only, and four judges dissented. The vote “in the judgment only” snuffed out the binding value of this case, and it is now of doubtful authority in the instant case. Otherwise, I concur fully with the majority opinion.
