1,000 Pound Woman Beats Nephew To Death
EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A grand jury indicted a nearly half-ton, bedridden woman Thursday in the death of her 2-year-old nephew.
Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, 27, was indicted on one count of first-degree murder and on one count of injury to a child in the death of Eliseo Gonzalez Jr. Rosales previously had been charged with capital murder.
The grand jury indicted her after a full autopsy confirmed investigators’ suspicions that the child died March 18 because he had been struck. Investigators believe the toddler was struck at least twice, crushing his head.
Authorities recommended Rosales’ bond be set at $150,000.
The boy’s mother Jaime Rosales, was charged earlier with injury to a child because she allegedly left her son alone with his aunt. Her bond has been set at $100.000.
Prosecutors have to work out how Mayra Rosales will be detained and prosecuted because she weighs nearly 1,000 pounds. She is unable to fit through a door to leave her home. As of Thursday evening, she was not in custody.
Both Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra and Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino promised that Rosales would somehow face the charges but they had little details about how that would happen. Trevino said holding her at the Hidalgo County Jail for her trial would be impossible because she needs extensive medical care.
“She would die,” said Trevino in Thursday’s online edition of The Monitor in McAllen.
Nevertheless, she will soon face arrest, he said.

“ok, sir we have arrested her……but we’re gonna need a flat-bet trailer to transport her to the jail, and a carpenter to widen the doorway!”
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:30 amToss that pig piece of shit in the gulf and let the sharks feed on it.
There is never a reason to strike a child like that.
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:41 amGet in my tummy!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 6:59 amWhy was the MOTHER arrested? I’m pretty sure that the mother has no part in the kids death from the article. However she was arrested because she let her sister/sister-in-law watch the kid for a while?! WTF happened to personal responsibility? I mean what the hell!!!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:03 amThis is what’s wrong with this fucking country, no personal responsibility, now the mother’s in jail for leaving her child in the care of family.
Let the whale starve to death, no offense to any real whales.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:13 am“Authorities recommended Rosales’ bond be set at $150,000.”
What is that, about a dollar a pound?
That murdering tub should be smothered to death with her own gigantic gut.
August 22nd, 2008 at 7:47 amThis is a person? OMG! Help!
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:29 amI’m going to hell for laughing.
It’s funny! Y’all are funny!
$150 bucks a pound.
If she got liposuction would it decrease the bail amount?
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:40 amGet over the fact she is large. She killed a kid people. And don’t call her a person. MONSTER is a better term. She needs to go to jail with the other child killers. She is not SPECIAL just because she is plus sized. I am sure we are paying her medical bills anyway, so don’t threaten the state with medical bills. And if she dies in prison it will be called KARMA. So Relatives forget about cashing in. Think about the little boy that never had a chance!!!!!

And your point is?
