Arthel: right now the casey anthony case back in the spotlight. the big question being asked, did the prosecution drop the bomb. a bombshell report coming out of orlando says prosecutors and police overlooked anthony's google searches and quote fool-proof suffocation, a possible smoking gun that could have doomed the mother of caylee anthony who was found not guilty of her child's murder. the findings in this report seem to be backed up by claims made by anthony's own defense lawyer, jose baez. he first dropped that bombshell this past summer in his book on the case. fred tice, and dan shore, ...

Was suffocated with duct tape and there was a ton of other reasonable doubt. it wouldn't have made a difference. arthel: dan what do you think? >> the defense was saying it was accidental death, the prosecution was trying to show it was intentional suffocation. you have a search for suffocation at the time when caylee was probably killed. that is consistent and important evidence, even though it's not the exact same type of suffocation it gives the jury more evidence to support a conviction here. arthel: your turn, fred. >> here is the problem. look i've said it from the get go, this case wrea...

Victim -- the fact the victim was stabbed more than 40 times, this was not just a, i don't know, garden variety, spur of the moment quick kind of thing. >> no, that's compelling evidence that this was done by someone who knew her, it wasn't done by a stranger. i do agree with diana, i find it a little bit troubling even as a prosecutor that the state can ask for an enhanced sentence on appeal. in essence, that chills people's appeal rights or willingness to take an appeal when you hav that kind of risk. but at the end of the day, you're right. the 40 stab wounds along with the false imly case ...

Both of which were found on the clasp. i love this evidence was manhandled or mishandled. you know what? at the end of the day the evidence, still, i think, is compelling enough to support her conviction. jon: diana, the prosecution has asked that her sentence be increased, that she be given a life sentence instead of the 26-year sentence that she is currently serving. is that a bit of a hail mary? is that a bit of a diversion maybe? >> well, i think, and that's one of the many, many ways that their process is utterly different than ours. the prosecution in our country would not get a second b...
