Barnes, Judge,
concurring specially.
Although I concur fully in Divisions 3-7, I have grave reservations about the long-term effect on the administration of justice of applying waiver to the failure of Taylor’s counsel to object to the trial court’s statement. Nevertheless, I agree that such application is not wholly inconsistent with our law in this area. Further, because I cannot agree with the majority’s application in Division 2 of Roebuck v. State, 261 Ga. App. 679 (583 SE2d 523) (2003), and Grogan v. State, *672230 Ga. App. 876 (497 SE2d 589) (1998), in these circumstances, I must concur in the judgment only as to Divisions 1 and 2.
Decided December 1,2003
Reconsideration denied December 12, 2003
Brian Steel, for appellant.
