In Austin, she’s known as the immigrant baby sitter who killed a 21-month-old boy by stuffing a wad of paper towels into his throat.
But in Mexico, Rosa Estela Olvera Jiménez is seen as the victim of Texas justice run amok, a scapegoat for a system that preferred to target a 19-year-old immigrant rather than search for the truth.
A new documentary chronicling Jiménez’s 2005 trial is sparking anger and outrage in Mexico as well as a campaign seeking to overthrow her 99-year sentence.”*
