SEARS, Justice,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur in the majority’s findings that the trial court correctly entered judgment on appellant’s guilty pleas, and that the evidence presented at the sentencing hearing authorized the jury to find the existence of at least one statutory aggravating circumstance beyond a reasonable doubt. However, due to the concerns I expressed in my partial dissent to Wilson v. State4 I dissent to Divisions 6 and 7 of the majority opinion and to the majority opinion’s affirmance of the death penalty only to the extent that it requires death by electrocution.

 271 Ga. 811 (525 SE2d 339) (1999).
