PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge has ordered a nurse to stand trial in the death of the father of former national security adviser H.R. McMaster while at a Philadelphia senior care facility.

Judge Karen Y. Simmons ruled Monday after a two-part preliminary hearing that Christann Gainey, a former contract nurse at Cathedral Village in Philadelphia, will stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, neglect of care of a dependent person and tampering with records.

Prosecutors say Gainey failed to do mandatory medical and neurological checks on H.R. McMaster Sr. prior to his fatal fall at the facility in April.

Gainey’s attorney says the woman is being used as a scapegoat for the facility and that charges were brought only after a call from the White House.

  1. Prosecutors say Gainey failed to do mandatory medical and neurological checks on H.R. McMaster Sr. prior to his fatal fall at the facility in April.

    We should demand that the same neurological checks be performed on Chiselin’ Trump.

  2. In other words, the Big Nanny State Government is distorting the Free Market again. It wasn’t a crime! It was a market signal to send your other parent to a better nursing home, amirite?

    This famous case might result in increasing the staffing levels at nursing homes.

    Just joking. It’s much cheaper to throw the overworked nurses under the bus.

  4. Yeah I’m wondering if the test would have even showed anything and changed how they cared for him or what they let him do…the test on McMaster that is, Donald’s would definately show signs of problems.and needed changes of what he’s allowed to do!
