    EEUU: Enfrenta cargos mujer que vivió más de un año con cadáver

    JACKSON, Michigan, EE.UU. (AP) — Una mujer que vivió durante meses con el cadáver de su pareja fue procesada el viernes bajo cargos de cobrar los cheques de la pensión y de Seguridad Social del fallecido.

    Linda Chase, de 71 años, se presentó ante la corte tres semanas después de que la policÍa encontró los restos de Charles Zigler en una silla de la sala de su hogar en Jackson, a 40 millas al sur de Lansing, en Michigan.

    Chase no fue acusada de ningún delito relacionado con la muerte de Zigler ni por no haber dado aviso a las autoridades sobre el deceso. La policía cree que el hombre de 67 años murió de causas naturales en diciembre de 2010, si bien Chase dijo que falleció el año pasado.

    Chase es acusada de falsificación por cobrar cheques por 28.000 dólares emitidos a Zigler. Un juez la liberó después de advertirle que se presente ante la corte en todas las fechas programadas.

    "No puedo siquiera caminar. ¿Por qué habría de huir?", respondió Chase.

    La mujer se negó a hacer declaraciones al diario Jackson Citizen Patriot (http://bit.ly/O36qcB) al abandonar la corte. Aún no se le ha asignado un abogado.

    la policía entró a la vivienda el 6 de julio después de que familiares de Zigler dijeron que no habían sabido nada de él y no podían entrar. Chase dijo que ella no deseaba separarse del cadáver e incluso le hablaba mientras veía las carreras de autos de NASCAR por televisión.

    El fiscal Hank Zavislak dijo que es probable que la mujer sea sometida a análisis de estado mental antes de que el caso siga su curso.

    "Ella sabe exactamente lo que ha hecho", dijo el sobrino de Zigler, Aaron Dryer. "No fue porque lo extrañase o porque no podía vivir sin él. Fue con el único propósito de apoderarse de ese dinero... Nuestra familia la quiere en la cárcel".

    • Trayvon Martin texts, photos: Might they change Zimmerman trial?

      Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.
