The embarrassing founder of Therano, Elizabeth Holmes, lost her offer to overthrow her sentence for fraud on Monday – less than two weeks after she receded in People magazine in connection with her prison being “hell and torture”.
Holmes and Theranos Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani was found guilty in 2022 for fraud of investors at the failed start of blood testing once worth $ 9 billion.
A three-judge panel for the 9th Court of Appeal of the 9th County in San Francisco rejected the claims of legal errors in their separate judgments.
She can now apply for another summary of her case or try to request the Supreme Court – though the lost appeal is likely to have a better opportunity to derive the sentence.
“Both are long shots,” Appeal lawyer Rafffi Melconian told Wall Street Journal. “Now that she has lost, her ways to win the matter are significantly narrowed.”
Holmes, 41, is currently serving an 11-year sentence in a comprehensive prison, with minimal security at Bryan, Texas.
Earlier this month, the ex -loving Silicon Valley gave a tearful interview mourning her visits to prison with her two young children. She said the hardest part of service time was to watch her children leave the glass door provided each week.
It “destroys my world every time,” Holmes told people.
She shares her two children with partner Billy Evans, heir to the Evans hotel group.
Holmes kept her innocence during the interview of people, saying she is “walking through faith and, after all, the truth. But it has been hell and torture to be here. “
Holmes – was once seen as a young Steve Jobs for her entrepreneurial collection and Black Turtleneck’s collection – appealed her guilty judgment shortly after American district judge Edward Davila denied her case a new trial.
Its lawyers submitted a 130 -page document to the Court of Appeal, clashing with Davila’s decisions throughout the trial, including evidence that he allowed to be heard by the jury.
San Jose trial, Calif. It started in August 2021 and lasted nearly four months. More than 30 witnesses, including Holmes, testified.
Holmes began Theranos at the age of 19 after leaving Stanford University. She led the company for 15 years.
She claimed that Theranos – which hired hundreds of scientists and engineers – had developed a fundamental owner device that could rapidly deliver results in more than 200 health tests.
Reporter John Carrerou, then a journalist in the newspaper, exposed that blood tests were not being executed on the owner’s equipment, but commercial blood analyzers that were confused to treat blood minutes.
Theranos, Holmes and Balwani, her then boyfriend, were accused of fraudting civil sequences in 2018.
Holmes was charged with 11 charges of wire fraud and plot to carry out wire fraud against investors and patients. She was convicted of three of the fraud charges and a plot charge.
