Mayra Rosales, an 1,100 poundwoman (one of the heaviest in the world) who, in 2008, confessed to accidentally killing her 2-year-old nephew after she sat on him and crushed him to death.
An autopsy report concluded that the toddler died of a fatal blow to the head which was inconsistent with Mayra’s story of falling on him. She was arrested and charged with capital murder. To attend the trial, the walls of her home and the courtroom had to be removed in order to transport her. Mayra’s defense was that she couldn’t have hit her nephew in the head in the manner that the prosecution suggested because her arms were too heavy for her to lift.
