Rosales, pictured weighing around 1,100lbs, claimed she had accidentally killed her nephew, but investigators found she would have been incapable of the crime
Marya Rosales, 33, who once weighed around 1,100lbs, told police she accidentally killed her sister Jaime's son Eliseo by rolling on top of him while babysitting five years ago.
But investigators found she was too heavy to have committed the crime and at her 2008 murder trial in Texas they proved she was actually covering for her sister who had who beat her son to death with a hairbrush.
Rosales, who was barely able to move and had to be cut out of her home and carried to a removal van by ten men, admitted her sister had begged her to cover for her.
Although she knew it was wrong, she said she felt she had already 'given up on life' and effectively had nothing to lose by pleading guilty to the crime, ABC reports.
Rosales tells how she is now hoping to be granted custody of Jaime's three other children.
She said the children, currently living with their grandmother, call her 'mom' and were the inspiration behind her incredible weight loss.
She said: 'They were first to know when I was able to stand up for the first time, and then when they saw me walking, they saw me walk in the door, they were very excited. They are my motivation.'
