Casey Anthony: Is death-penalty list a setback to defense? Is the list detailed enough?

<snipped> What does the prosecution’s death penalty list mean in the Casey Anthony case? TV analysts weighed in last night.
The list was a setback to the defense, WFTV-Channel 9 legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said. “It gives the state more ammunition during the penalty phase to argue for the death penalty and certainly the facts as we know it support each and every one of these aggravating factors,” he said.
WESH-Channel 2’s Bob Kealing said the defense and prosecution were disagreeing over the death-penalty list. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton said he just needs to list the reasons, but defense attorney Jose Baez wants more detail, Kealing reported.
At 11 last night, Kealing looked at seven key points in the case. He said he had polled several sources about “the biggest developments in a very eventful week.”

<snipped> In the case against Casey Anthony , prosecutors are now revealing exactly why they think she deserves the death penalty. According to prosecutors, Caylee's murder happened during aggravated child abuse. The crime, they say, was especially heinous, atrocious and cruel.
They also argue that is was committed in a cold, calculate and premeditated manner. In addition, they note that Caylee was under the age of 12 and Casey was in a position of familial authority over her daughter.

<snipped> Prosecutors are required by Florida law to explain their reasoning, and in a document released Thursday, they quote five statutes they said will allow them to argue there were aggravating circumstances regarding the death of Caylee Anthony, 2.
The state claims the capital felony was committed while the defendant "was engaged in the commission of a crime," like aggravated child abuse.
