Fate of Elizabeth Holmes will soon be in the hands of jurors

SAN JOSE, Calif (AP) — The lawyers for the opposing sides in the trial of former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes are expected to wrap up their closing arguments Friday, paving the way for a jury to begin their deliberations over criminal charges accusing her of turning her blood-testing startup into a massive scam.

The case revolving around Holmes’ meteoric rise as a self-made billionaire and ensuing downfall into a disgraced entrepreneur has captivated Silicon Valley for the past three months as her long-delayed trial has unfolded.

The 37-year-old Holmes is facing 11 felony counts of fraud and conspiracy.

If convicted, she could be sentenced up to 20 years in federal prison.
