Some Wondered Whether Elizabeth Holmes Would Bring Her Baby to Court for Sympathy

Elizabeth Holmes is likely going to jail. The founder of Theranos was convicted on four counts of fraud and conspiracy for lying to investors about blood testing technology that she knew didn’t work. The jury reached its verdict this week, but some speculated they might go easy on Holmes because she gave birth over the summer. In July, William Holmes Evans was born, delaying the trial for seven weeks. Holmes’ attorneys are expected to plead for leniency during sentencing because of the baby.
