ERWIN, Judge.

Defendant contends that the trial court erred in defining "reasonable doubt" as follows in its charge:

"A reasonable doubt is a doubt based on reason and common sense arising out of some or all of the evidence that has been presented or a lack or insufficiency of the evidence as the case may be. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that fully satisfies or entirely convinces you of the defendant's guilt."
