Court lets free, murder accused world’s fattest lady, weight made the difference

Mayra Rosales, 31, of Texas, the worlds fattest lady was charged of murder in 2008. And the case was that she murdered her own sister’s two year old son while babysitting him. But the council argued that the blow with which the infant was killed could not be delivered by the lady due to heavy weight.

When two-year-old Eliseo Jr died in March 2008, 74-stone Ms Rosales, who had been babysitting at the time he was taken into hospital, originally claimed she caused his death by falling onto him. But after doctors revealed the death could only have been caused by a blow to the head, Ms Rosales confessed that she had invented the story to protect her sister Jaime, whom she claimed had struck the boy various times over his body with a hairbrush earlier the same day. A few months later, Jaime was persuaded to return to Texas where she stood trial for her son’s murder. Pleading guilty to the lesser charge of causing injury to a child, she was sentenced to 15 years in jail.
