Woman's weight poses challenge for courts in murder case:
The Hidalgo County Jail is not equipped to handle an inmate who weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said. And even if a cell and a bed for Rosales were available, deputies are not sure if the physician on staff can handle her various medical needs.
The costs of checking Rosales in for constant medical care could reach as high as $5,000 a day, according to the district attorney's office.
