The jury weighing fraud charges against former entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes is unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

After conferring with lawyers for the defense and prosecution, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila sent for the jury in order to give what is called an “Allen charge,” essentially an appeal from a judge to encourage a jury to deliberate further.

When they were still unable to reach a verdict by the middle of last week, the jurors were given Thursday off before an already scheduled court holiday on Friday. They hadn’t provided any inkling where they stood in their deliberations last week after sending two notes to the federal judge presiding over the case the previous week.

Holmes, 37, is facing 11 criminal charges alleging that she duped investors and patients by hailing her company’s blood-testing technology as a medical breakthrough when in fact it was prone to wild errors.
