““I dissent to the majority opinion primarily because of the jury composition issue. A review of the transcript and record leads me to the opinion that the requirements of Alexander v. Louisiana, 405 U.S. 625 [ 92 S.Ct. 1221 , 31 L.Ed.2d 536 ] (1972), and Turner v. Fouche, 396 U.S. 346, 361 [ 90 S.Ct. 532, 540 , 24 L.Ed.2d 567 ] (1970) have not been satisfied in this case.” 236 Ga. 874 , 881 and 883; 226 S.E.2d 63 , 68 and 69 (1976).”
