Family members were visibly distressed during the proceedings, as evidence highlighted the physical state of Maradona on his deathbed. The case has garnered significant public attention, reflecting the deep emotional impact of Maradona's life and untimely death in Argentina. The trial aims to determine the extent of medical negligence and accountability in the care provided to the iconic athlete.
