But something went terribly wrong, and a month after surgery, exhibition April 6. the patient died. The stent manufacturer, New Life MedTech, has been indicted for manslaughter for having negligently produced a fatal medical device. The defense, however, claims the death was the surgeon's fault.

As they turned their heads, the jury saw everything that the witnesses testify to having observed during the critical surgery.
