When a juror expresses a willingness to evaluate the evidence objectively, and when the juror's potential bias arises out of a personal experience with a particular type of crime rather than out of a close relationship with the parties involved in the case, the juror may be eligible for service. See Garrett v. State, 280 Ga. 30-31 (2) ( 622 SE2d 323) (2005); Holmes v. State, 269 Ga. 124, 125-126 (2) ( 498 SE2d 732) (1998); Souder v. State, 281 Ga.

Hence, his assertion of error predicated on those additional grounds is deemed abandoned. Court of Appeals Rule 25 (c) (2); Souder v. State, 281 Ga. App. 339, 341 (1), n. 1 ( 636 SE2d 68) (2006).
