Where Is Elizabeth Holmes From Theranos Now?

“It’s not typical for a case to be sentenced eight months out, but this is not a typical case in many senses,” Amanda Kramer, a former federal prosecutor, explained to NPR. “Some facts established in Balwani’s trial might prove to be relevant in Holmes’ sentencing.”

In addition, law professor Ellen Kreitzberg explained on The Dropout how Holmes could use this to her advantage: “Elizabeth Holmes and her lawyers may talk to the government now about cooperating with them in the trial of Sunny Balwani. Under the federal guidelines, cooperation by a defendant is viewed very favorably and allows what’s called ‘downward departures,’ [which] allows the judge to reduce the sentence that might otherwise be required under the guidelines.”
