McFadden, Judge,
concurring fully and specially.
I disagree with the majority only as to the sentence supported by footnote 13. The State, as appellant, had the burden to include in the record all of the materials necessary for this court to decide the appeal. If the State had contended that the training manual required something other than what the trial court found, it would have been the State’s burden to include the manual in the appellate record. Thompson v. State, 248 Ga. App. 74, 75 (544 SE2d 510) (2001). It was not Padidham’s burden, as appellee, to show that the trial court summarized it correctly. But as the manual is not necessary to decide the appeal, I otherwise concur fully.
