A woman accused of killing her two-year-old nephew may have found a strange way to avoid jail ... by being too fat:
Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, from La Jola, Texas, is bedridden and weighs nearly 1,000lbs. But she cannot get through her front door to be taken to jail and, later, court. [...]
The morbidly obese woman has since been photographed and finger-printed at home but released on a "personal recognizance bond" because of the logistics problem.
The local sheriff at Hidalgo County, Lupe Trevino, says it would be impossible to keep her in jail pending her trial because she needs extensive medical care.
So, currently, the lady remains at large.

Wow... way to end it on a mean pun.
Also as has been said, who on earth leaves a kid with a morbid shut in?
Why not leave the kid with the neighbourhood paedophile? at least he'll be able to pay attention to the kid.
LA JOYA, Texas
geez
Maybe cut her food supply way back, thats the only thing she obviously lives for.
Shes already chosen the death penalty. She'll be dead in a few years or so.
Look, I'm a large man, 252lbs, but this woman is four of me. Murder is murder, take her to jail in chunks if you have to.
Regardless, humans have rights, even prisoners.
Lastly, since she is not in Louisiana, she is still innocent until proven guilty.
I'm kinda sad to see us go the way of Fark. I thought the commenters here still had half a brain.
Did she probably do it? Sure. Is she big? Yes. But blasting her this way does not help anyone. In fact, it makes me wonder what you'd say if you saw me walking down the street. But hey, pump up your low self-esteem a bit by putting down this person.
She explained away the injuries by saying she had slipped, landing with her right hand on Eliseo's head while trying to pick him off the floor, and that he fell off a chair.
But a post-mortem found that Eliseo's injuries were "consistent with blunt force trauma" and that Mayra Rosales' explanations were inconsistent with the injuries.
Oh and what a tragedy.
