In early 2008, When Mayra moved in with her sister Jaime, her sister had to take care of her and her children, although being almost entirely unable to move, or even get out of bed Mayra was continually left in charge of the small children while her sister would go out shopping and such.

Her sister then put her nephew to bed and left to go shopping, the boy began to have trouble breathing and that is when she called an ambulance to come save the boy.

When her sister wen to go to the hospital to see her baby, she told Mayra that they would not let her see her son until she told them who hurt him. That is when Mayra told the doctors she crushed him while playing.

the fact she could not commit the murder, didn't become apparent until after a thorough examination into the fact of weather she was capable of committing the crime at her current weigh and in her immediate physical state.

Rescue teams were called in to cut through the wall of her Texas home and remove her as no door was big enough for her to fit through.

A team of 15 then proceeded to carry her out of the walls that they had cut through to see trial.
