Third juror is dismissed in trial of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes after judge finds 'good cause' for leave
. Her trial has been delayed multiple times due to pandemic-related challenges and Holmes' pregnancy. Balwani, who also pleaded not guilty, will face a separate trial next year."A retrial, which the government certainly would do, would put Elizabeth's life on hold again and drain her accounts even further," Cevallos said. "So as much as a mistrial isn't a conviction sometimes you'd rather get to the verdict.", Shane Weber, took the stand.
Weber's report was shown to jurors. In it, Weber wrote, "Theranos has provided a poorly prepared summary document of their platform for home patient use with anti-angiogenic therapies." Weber told his supervisors in an email in January 2009, that he spoke to Holmes to explain that Pfizer would not be using Theranos' at-home products for patients.
"Would it be fair to say in 2010 or after that Pfizer endorsed Theranos technology?" Robert Leach, an assistant U.S. attorney, asked.Under cross-examination, Weber told jurors that his report on Theranos was never sent to Holmes.Also on Friday, jurors heard from Bryan Tolbert, who made an investment in Theranos in 2006 and 2013 through. The firm, which was founded by by Chris Lucas, invested $5 million in the start-up.

Judge denies Ghislaine Maxwell's request for private juror screeningA federal judge on Thursday denied requests from Ghislaine Maxwell, the accused accomplice of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to have prospective jurors for her criminal trial questioned privately -- outside the view of the public and the press -- and to keep a jury questionnaire under seal. Maxwell's attorneys had argued that the extraordinary measures were necessary to effectively screen for potential bias and for exposure to a 'tsunami' of publicity about the high-profile sex-trafficking case. 'This case amplifies the likelihood that jurors will be more apprehensive and constrained to respond openly and honestly in open court within earshot of other jurors, members of the public, and the media,' Maxwell attorney Bobbi Sternheim wrote in a court filing last week.
