sunny hostin is "on the case."ld a set of coins, something like that, solve a killing like this? >> well, these rare coins, martin, were stolen from the home, and when i say rare, i mean rare. there's apparently one $10 gaming token commemorating the 50th anniversary of the flamingo las vegas hotel. so those folks that have these coins could possibly be implicated in her murder. this is just good old-fashioned police work. they've contacted pawnshops in the area. they've contacted local coin shops. and this could very well lead to many, many leads in this case. >> well, i understand the police have been questioning a man suspected of at least one burglary in the area over the summer so i'm wondering, you know, are they looking at him as a possible suspect here, or do you just bring him in because of what happened in the past? >> well, he isn't a prime suspect, is my understanding, martin, but they are looking at him. he is part of the investigation. he is in custody right now on a warrant related to something else,

sunny hostin is on the case. when you read some of this stuff, it's quite troubling when it comes to cokomisarjevsky's childhood. dr. shea says komisarjevsky told him he was sexually abused by a 15-year-old. he talks about disturbing stuff that happened to him when he was young. he told the doctor he started self-mutilation when he was 13. quote, i started to cut myself because it was soothing. i did this up to 17 years old. i carved "hate" into my arm when i was 14. i hated everything about my life. obviously it's horrific, the details about his childhood. but do you think this will lead the jury to be at all sympathetic to this man? >> i don't think in this phase, brooke. we heard about this before. we heard about this in the first trial. there have been books written about joshua komisarjevsky. he was an adopted child who did suffer terrible sexual rape and abuse by one of the foster children that was brought into his home. hitz parents' home. there's no question that he had a difficult life. he is also clearl

. >> let's bring in mark geragos and sunny hostin from our sister network trutv. mark, dr.rray was more like an employee for michael jackson, not a doctor. pretty damaging stuff. >> well, it is for the evidence of gross negligence. and the prosecution has done a whale of a job proving that he was grossly negligent. the problem they've got is in order to convict dr. murray, they have to prove that his gross negligence caused the death. and i don't know that they've made that burden. their burden is beyond a reasonable doubt the pro pop poe follow and theed a minute strering is what caused his debt. it's the idea of causation. >> sunny, do you think they have enough evidence? >> i don't know what trial, mark, you're watching. the bottom line is, not only has the prosecution proved that conrad murray did not have the proper monitoring equipment, they proved that he shouldn't have been putting michael jackson to sleep with propofol but for those actions michael jackson would still be alive today. witness after witness after witness has testified to that. >> do you know what the

sunny hostin has been on the case for us.italian prosecutors are saying that they are going to take this to a higher court. they are going to appeal the decision and freed her around this time yesterday. can they really do that and how does that legal process work? >> yes, they can really do that and by all indications they will be doing that. they can appeal this appellate decision to italy's highest court. italy's supreme court and if the conviction is -- or the decision is overturned, amanda knox could face the same prison sentence. the 26-year prison sentence. they would, of course, the prosecution would have to ex tridiet her from the united states. we now now that she's on her way home to seattle. but by no means is this case completely over. because the prosecutors have indicated that they will appeal the appellate court's decision. >> will that, though, attempt -- how successful -- what was the likelihood? >> you know, i don't think it's that likely even though this is a very different type of process. this isn't a ne

and sunny hostin. who does it help more, the prosecution or the defense?> i think it clearly helps the defense. you don't have to think back too far to the rob effort blake case where the prosecution played the barbara walters interview. he didn't have to take the stand. he wasn't cross-examined. he was able to get his story out. here you have him expressing the his love for michael jackson and everything else. i'm a little mystified as to what the gain was for the prosecution at the risk of putting in all of this evidence. if i can tell you, kudos to your network, unlike some other networks for not showing the autopsy photo. it is inexplicable to me why that is being played by other networks. >> let me ask you this question, why do you think -- we're not going to show it. we will have some standards here. why do you think the prosecution decided to bring it in to evidence? >>. >> i think they wanted to -- i think the shock factor. i just can't imagine what the probative value was. this is not a case where there was a stabbing or a shooting and where entry

i want to bring in sunny hostin. and listening to the testimony, it has been pretty heavy.l me about it. >> you know, it really has been. he's painted a picture of a son they adopted when he was 2 weeks old. he called him a miracle. a miracle baby. that miracle really turned into quite a devastating picture for this family. he also describes the fact that they took in foster children into their home. and one of those foster children sexually abused joshua komisarjevsky. and then he in turn abused his sister also. we heard some testimony about the fact that he was involved in satanic rituals, fell in with a bad crowd and was diagnosed as having really severe psychological issues. but rather than have him treated psychologically with psychological drugs and testing, this family turned to religion. we know now that the komisarjevskies are deeply religious, devout christians and they instead placed him in a residential religious program. we're getting a picture of a young man who was very troubled and didn't receive the help that he so desperately needed. >> thus, this would be
