Trimarchi told the court that Maradona needed daily physician visits and blood tests to monitor his vital signs. He added that the patient suffered from chronic kidney disease and that the medical team, including a personal doctor, psychiatrist and nurses, had overlooked key warning signs, potentially contributing to the fatal heart failure. Seven defendants face up to 25 years in prison, though all deny guilt. The trial, which began in April, is expected to conclude no earlier than September. forestarrow.help
