The 1,000 pound murderer?

The more I read the news, the more I become convinced that people are definitely losing their minds.

Last week in Texas, a grand jury indicted 27 year-old Mayra Lizbeth Rosales, on one count of first-degree murder and on one count of injury to a child in the death of her nephew Eliseo Gonzalez Jr.

Now this is what makes the story interesting.

Mayra is a near-half ton, bedridden woman.

Apparently, Mayra’s sister, Jaime Rosales left her son alone with her sister somehow feeling that she would be able to take care of the 2 year old. It is not clear as to what happened, but investigators allege that Mayra hit the boy at least twice crushing his head.

Jaime Rosales has been charged injury to a child for leaving her son alone with his aunt.

Although she has been indicted, Mayra remains at home. The police don’t know how to remove her from her home since she can’t fit through the door. Plus, they don’t have a cell big enough to accommodate her and she also has significant medical needs.

But here are my questions.

First, how could any competent person think a bedridden person would be able to care for a 2 year old all alone? I have a 2 year old and as attentive as I am, he still gets into anything and everything.

Secondly, how does a person gain 1,000 pounds in 27 years? I’ve heard of people getting that big and they are usually in their 40’s or 50’s.

What in the world is she eating?

She brings a whole new meaning to the saying “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse”.

Okay, that was wrong.

Mayra faces life in prison and possibly the death penalty if she is found guilty.

The Wizard has spoken.
