A new documentary is set to reveal the astonishing true life
story of a woman who testified falsely to murder but was found innocent on the
grounds that her burgeoning obesity could never have allowed her to commit the
crime. TLC’s Half-Ton Killer? tells of how, in March 2008, Texan Mayra Rosales,
31, told police officers that she had killed her two-year-old nephew, Eliseo
Jr, by accidentally rolling on top of him while babysitting. Click to see more
