Lawyers for Holmes, who is pregnant with her second child, submitted the letters in an attempt to help her avoid jail time when she is sentenced next week for an epic fraud.
“No defendant should be made a martyr to public passion,” Holmes’ lawyers wrote in their court submission.“We ask that the court consider, as it must, the real person, the real company and the complex circumstances surrounding the offense."
I'm shocked by this. She had a good idea. Millions of people have good ideas but don't swindle people. Trump has good ideas too. If he breaks the law while trying to implement them is CoryBooker going to write a letter for him too? Advocate for the people of NJ, not criminals.
wtf CoryBooker
Wait, she committed the crime and she can't go to prison because she's pregnant? They have whole Wards Of prisoners who Are pregnant and actually give birth in prison. I'm confused.🧐 Is her situation special?
Not a good look, CoryBooker
Cmon people… read the article: “I write to advocate for a fair and just sentence for Elizabeth Holmes,” Booker said.
Dayum CoryBooker whyyyy?
yungwonk come get your man
She’s a fraud in my opinion. Anyone supporting her at this point has some strange morals…
Ship her off to Guantanamo.
Whet?
Uh.... What?
What an unforced error, my imposter syndrome disappears more and more
Fraud does not help others Cory.
unfollow CoryBooker
CoryBooker WTH. This is so disappointing. She knew and she deserves a lot of jail time.
Cory Booker also knew Malcom X’s killer. He definitely gets a side eye from me 👀

Elizabeth Holmes Requests Leniency for Theranos CrimesDisgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is casting herself as a Silicon Valley scapegoat who overcame an abusive relationship to become a loving mother in an effort to avoid a lengthy prison sentence for duping investors in her failed blood-testing company.

Elizabeth Holmes asks for leniency for her Theranos crimesThe disgraced CEO is trying to recast her image as a loving mother in an effort to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. Reminds me of the guy who killed his parents and then asked for mercy because he was an orphan. Nope! Away with her. Sorry, just because she pooped a baby out of her butt doesn’t mean she’s automatically a nice lady who gets a pass on everything.
