9 Shocking cases of when you are too fat.......

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. Due to her 1,100lb frame, Mayra imagined her story to be believable, until doctors revealed that the boy could only have died from a blow to the head. Then her attorney's main argument for her defense became the reality that she was so big she couldn't move her arm.

After lying to the authorities, Mayra eventually confessed the truth. She had invented the story to protect her sister Jaime, whom she claimed had struck the boy various times over his body with a hairbrush earlier the same day. (Link)



They have a combined weight of 83 stone and claim £22,000 in taxpayer-funded benefits on the basis that they are ‘too fat to work.' Yet, incredibly, X Factor flop Emma Chawner's family from Blackburn are demanding more money because they still can't afford their calorie-laden lifestyle. Asked why they don't simply go on a diet, the jobless Chawner family, who are so obese their neighbours call them ‘the telly tubbies,' insist: "We don't have the time."

Both Philip Chawner, 53, and his 57-year-old wife Audrey weigh 24st. Their youngest daughter, Emma, is 5ft 3in and weighs 17st, while her older sister Samantha, 21, is 5ft 9in and weighs 18st. They haven't worked in 11 years, claiming their weight is due to a hereditary condition. Instead, the family spends their days in front of a television borrowed from a friend.

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food, including chocolate, chips and pies, and consume 3,000 calories each a day.
