1Opinion of the Court
Hunt, Justice.
The warden appeals the habeas court’s grant of Higgs’ petition for the writ of habeas corpus. The habeas court, citing Powell v. State, 187 Ga. App. 878 (4) (372 SE2d 234) (1988), held the trial court’s charge on intent was unconstitutionally burden-shifting because it required a mandatory inference of intent. See Sandstrom v. Montana, 442 U. S. 510 (99 SC 2450, 61 LE2d 39) (1979).
