Seven healthcare professionals accused of negligence in football icon Diego Maradona's death will face a new trial starting in March after a San Isidro court declared a mistrial when one of three judges stepped down over criticism about her participation in a documentary on the case.
The judge in question, Julieta Makintach, will stand a separate trial starting on Thursday in La Plata, the capital of the province of Buenos Aires, for misconduct in her duties, which could lead to her removal from office.
