Elizabeth Holmes Judge Refuses Jury Request to Take Instructions Home

The judge presiding at Elizabeth Holmes’s fraud trial declined a request by jurors on Tuesday to take their instructions home with them, before they have rendered a verdict.

The jurors finished their second full day of deliberations in a San Jose, California, federal court, after hearing three months of trial testimony. They are set to resume deliberating Thursday.

The 37-year-old entrepreneur was charged with fraud and conspiracy in 2018, the same year that her blood-testing startup collapsed after previously reaching a valuation of $9 billion. Holmes is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted.
