We may be at last get out tight to the end of the migraine - inducing episodic Theranos drama , and we ’re not even tattle about theHulu show . Theranos father Elizabeth Holmes now has a sentencing day of the month after being convicted of scamming tight to $ 900 million from investor with her company ’s parentage testing startup .
Though the now - visibly pregnant Holmes wasconvictedback in January , she put a lot of blood , sweat , and quite a few tears ( plus more rake ) into her imploaded blood examination inauguration , though she was n’t quick to go to pokey without one last - ditch effort to overrule her fate . Back in September , Holmes and her lawyersasked the motor hotel for a retrial , lay claim there was new grounds from the company ’s former lab music director Adam Rosendorff , a central watcher for the prosecution .
In September , Holmes ’ defence bring out three question for a new trial , with the most surreal motion claiming Rosendorff leave the Theranos CEO a voicemail that had offered some kind of remorse for his testimony in court . Holmes also exact Rosendorff start to Holmes ’ home , where he was supposedly greet by Holmes ’ pardner Billy Evans and was then told to depart . On Monday , U.S. territory motor hotel judge Edward Davila said those complaint did not warrant a new trial .

go through the whole Theranos rigmarole again would have probably have a lot of stress for those following along , await for some sort of a conclusion . Holmes has been at the center ofa years - long narrativearound her startup whose line of descent examination kits did n’t work as advertised , or really at all , despite all her claims to investor , the world , and particularly their initial tryout affected role .
Rosendorff told the motor hotel in October that his testimony was still the the true , and even after he was grill by Holmes ’ attorney he remained adamant that his story was correct . TheNew York Times reportedthat the x - science laboratory school principal feel bad for the old-fashioned - Theranos employee . He was correct in his assessment that the Theranos CEO as well as alleged co - conspirator Ramesh Balwani had defrauded investors by lay claim her devices meant to run multiple tests on a affected role ’s single dip of blood were real , when in fact they did not work at all . She had previously been convict of several counts of wire fraud and cabal to put conducting wire fraud , but the panel rejected counts of fraud against Theranos ’ patients .
Balwani wasalready convictedon a dozen counts of pseudo and conspiracy to trust hoax . He ’s scheduled for sentencing this December .
In the decision to deny a new test , Davila write that he found the ex - lab head ’s testimony to be credible , adding that even if Rosendorff ’s argument could be proved to be false in the eyes of the lawcourt , Holmes attorney “ [ have ] not shown that those statements are probable to affect the jury ’s judgment here . ” The justice also wrote that since Rosendorff only testified to the internal operations at Theranos , he could n’t have made any tangible change to the evidence against claims by the company ’s “ external partnership , ” AKA investors .
Holmes ’ attorneys have tried for years to delay trial byissuing complaints about the federal indictment . Holmes ’ team had antecedently issue a112 - question surveyto prospective juryman ask them if they ever translate news site that reported on the Theranos fiasco , including Gizmodo .
