Half-Ton Killer? Why 1,100lb Mayra Rosales confessed to a murder she didnt commit

In 2008 1,one hundred pound girl Mayra Rosales (31) advised the police officers she killed her her two-year-old nephew, Eliseo Jr. via unintentionally rolling over on him while babysitting him. But that wasn’t the reality. Tonight TLC is airing a documentary called Half-Ton Killer that explores this compelling case.

In the trailer beneath Mayra insists “I must be punished, I did improper,” whilst Nancy Grace wonders why she’s not in prison, and any person else ponders whether it is even possible to execute a person of Mayra’s measurement via lethal injection.

What’s really going on here? Here’s a little background data:

Just sooner than March 2008, when the horrific event happened, Mayra and her husband Bernie moved in with Mayra’s sister Jaime, who had 4 kids. According to Mayra, she felt like more a mom to the children than Jaime, and used to be regularly left babysitting them.

Mayra recounted to the UK’s Reveal magazine what happened the day Eliseo Jr. died:

“Jaime was once giving my nephew breakfast and he didn’t want to devour. I instructed her if he was crying he wasn’t going to consume, however she got mad, got a brush and hit him on his arms, legs and head which left a bump. Afterwards, she got his Winnie the Pooh blanket, coated him up and put him to mattress. Then she went out, leaving me with the children.”

Later that day Eliseo began having breathing issues, so Mayra known as 911. The clinic wouldn’t let someone see Eliseo till they knew who had hurt the child, and in accordance to Mayra, Jaime begged her to say it used to be her. So she made up a story about rolling on most sensible of Eliseo, and falling on him with her hand. She mentioned her main objective used to be to assist her sister, and prevent the other 3 kids from being taken away. Mayra additionally felt fatalistic about her personal scenario, and felt love it made since to sacrifice herself “I assumed I was death anyway so I determined to admit that I’d carried out it to protect my sister because I love her.”

But the character of the boy’s harm didn’t add up that story. Mayra would have had to swing her arm in order to inflict the type of wound he had on his head, something that used to be bodily not possible for Mayra to do. As this information got here to light, and a trial started to transfer ahead with Mayra as the key suspect, Jaime fled, fearing the truth would come out.

When it did, Mayra was once in a position to released from prison this January, and was once able to seek a lot needed clinical consideration (she’s already misplaced about 280, a nice deal of it from painful water retention.)

When Jaime was in the end situated, she confessed to the crime, and is serving 15 years in jail. It’s absolutely stunning to think that any individual would just take the autumn like that, even for their sister, particularly if there's abuse in the house. Wouldn’t it make more sense to help the other youngsters be got rid of from the abusive mom so that they’re not in danger?

It turns out like Mayra was once depressing, and taking the fall used to be an act of self-destruction (and almost definitely a cry for help.) This entire situation is heartbreaking, and on the core of it's a two-year-old little boy who had his chance at lifestyles taken away.
