It follows that the trial court committed no error in declining to charge the jury on reckless conduct as a separate lesser included offense. See id.; Reed v. State, 238 Ga. App. 297, 298 ( 517 SE2d 824) (1999). Compare Reinhardt v. State, 263 Ga. 113, 113-114 (2) ( 428 SE2d 333) (1993), overruled in part on other grounds, Vergara v. State, 283 Ga. 175, 177-178 (1) ( 657 SE2d 863) (2008) (in felony murder case, the trial court should have charged the jury on reckless conduct as a separate lesser included offense of arson).
We note that the cases relied upon by Banks are inapposite and do not support his position that the trial court must include on a verdict form reckless conduct as a lesser-included offense of felony murder.Simmons v. State, 266 Ga. 223, 229(7)(b), 466 S.E.2d 205 (1996) (citation omitted); Reed v. State, 238 Ga.App. 297, 298, 517 S.E.2d 824 (1999); see Snell, supra.Simmons, supra; Snell, supra; Reed, supra.
