Mayra Rosales has been indicted in a count of first-degree murder and one count of injury to a child for the death of her 2-year-old nephew, Eliseo Rosales. Mayra is not in police custody because she weighs 1,000 pounds and cannot fit through her door.
Eliseo Gonzalez Jr. Rosales was 2 years old and
Fox News reports that an autopsy confirmed initial suspicions of the authorities, which was that the child died on March 18, 2008 because he had been stuck in the head, crushing it.
Police are recommending that the 27 year-old Mayra Lizbeth Rosales be held on $150,000 bond. The child's mother Jaime Rosales was previously charged with injury to a child for leaving Eliseo home with his aunt. Her bond was set at $100.000.
Mayra Rosales is not in police custody and authorities have not determined how they will detain or prosecute her because she weighs 1,000 pounds and cannot fit through the doors of her home to be taken into 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.
Trevino states that putting her in a jail cell will kill her, but he says somehow she will be arrested.
