'I never gave up hope': World's fattest woman reveals how she was accused of murdering her sister's son - but walked free after court heard she was 'too big to kill'

A woman charged with murdering her sister's son has told how she was freed after her defence team claimed she was too fat to have committed the crime.

In a new interview, Mayra Rosales, 31, of Texas, says she could not have hit the boy on the head because her arm was so big that she would not have been able to lift it to strike him.

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.

Well someone is putting food into her mouth.....and she cant lift her arms then who is doing it?

Whilst the woman's weight is quite big but I think the most shocking thing is the notion fat people cannot kill because they are too huge to move. Does that make thin people only murderers? Are the laws here discriminating between fat and skinny people?

The only victim here is the two year old who got murdered.

I'm sure there is a prejudice against fat people....and they must find life pretty tough especially at 74 stones.
Maybe she should have sought medical advice long before that point...dunno

No, and no, Star. The lady’s size is relevant only to the extent that it relates to her ability to commit the act in question.
