Will Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos Get a New Trial? | Chances Drop (Out) (VL726)
In this episode, Richard Hoeg discusses a recent case involving a remorseful witness and a consequent request for a new trial. He analyzes the legal implications and potential outcomes in the conclusion.
Key Points
- Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, was convicted of fraud in January and is currently seeking a new trial based on an incident involving a key witness expressing regret for his testimony.
- The key witness, Dr. Adam Rosendorf, visited Holmes's residence expressing distress over her situation, but during an evidentiary hearing, he affirmed that his trial testimony was truthful and the prosecution had not misrepresented the facts.
- Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding Dr. Rosendorf's visit to Holmes's home, it is highly unlikely that this will lead to a new trial as the judge is expected to deny the motion based on Rosendorf's reaffirmation of his truthful testimony during the trial.
