EDINBURG -- Authorities scrambled Friday to figure out how to arrest, incarcerate and prosecute a woman estimated to weigh nearly half a ton who was indicted on capital murder charges earlier this week.

Mayra Rosales, 27, has remained under house arrest since she was charged in March with beating her 2-year-old nephew to death.

But now that her case has moved into the state court system, law enforcement officials must address a whole new set of logistical problems before it can go to trial.

If she gets the death penalty, they’re going to have to hire a wrecking crew with a huge crane and wrecking ball.

Forklift and a large cell. No problem. She won’t be much of an escape risk!

But how are we to tell innocence or guilt? Perhaps she looks like...

Ok, GUILTY!

If this murderess gets the death penalty, they’ll have to deliver her lethal injection with an elephant gun.

I read somewhere that the squad car the police sent to pick her up had to make two trips.

After much searching, I found out that the “Monitor” is published and located in McAllen, Texas.

When will these small town newspaper websites start learning to identify themselves with their complete name and location? They could be anywhere. I thought the Monitor was in Australia.

How does a 1000 pound person function? How do you get up or walk? How do you go to the bathroom or clean yourself?

How is it even possible to gain or weigh 1000 pounds? How much do you have to eat to weigh that much?

I don’t want to even think or know about this.

Now I know why there are “starving children” in China.

Years ago a fat woman (Melungeon) was arrested for moonshining. She was so fat they could not get her out of the house. When the judge asked the sherrif why she wasn’t in court I think the sherrif said “ your honor, the woman was catchable but not fetchable”. Something like that. When she died I believe they lifted her out through the roof of the house. .
