Dr Janette Nesheiwat, convicted felon President-Elect Trump’s nominee to serve as the US Surgeon General has an interesting family background in that she kind of accidentally killed her father at age 13 in a very Florida-esque way, according to a February 1990 police report viewed by the Guardian.
“I was in Father’s bedroom at about 7:15 AM getting some scissors” out of a fishing tackle box on a shelf above her dad’s bed, she said, according to a Umatilla, Florida Police Department report on the death of Ziad “Ben” Nesheiwat. “I opened the… box and the whole thing tipped over,” causing a handgun to fall out, discharge, and hit Ben in the head while he was still sleeping that morning.
