Elizabeth Holmes may attempt to claim 'mental disease' in Theranos criminal case

Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and former CEO of Theranos, may seek a "mental disease" defense in her criminal fraud trial, according to a new court document.
Holmes, whose failed biotech company purported to have revolutionized blood testing and was once valued at $9 billion, was indicted on federal wire fraud charges in June 2018, along with Theranos' former COO. The indictment alleged they engaged in a multi-million dollar scheme to defraud investors, as well as a scheme to defraud doctors and patients. They could face up to 20 years in prison.
The trial, which was initially set to begin this summer but was delayed due to the global pandemic, is now slated to start in March.
This week, Judge Edward Davila of the US District Court for the Northern District of California granted federal prosecutors the ability to have Holmes examined by two experts -- a psychologist and a psychiatrist -- over two consecutive days and for no more than 14 hours combined. The ruling comes after Holmes' defense team previously notified the government of intent to "introduce expert evidence relating to a mental disease or defect or any other mental condition of the defendant bearing on ... the issue of guilt," according to the filing.

She is definitely insane

Everyone tried to prop her up as a symbol of female empowerment and how women are the future and she shite the bed like no other

I don’t doubt she’s crazy but she needs to be in jail.
But she’s a semi attractive female with connections. She will never face real consequences

She just needs to wake up and go all SJW and the judges will let her off. She's an elitist, she'll never spend a day in jail. She's also your poster child for today's empowered women. It's all smoke and mirrors. Given the chance to make actual business decisions, they'll fail miserably. Too much feelings. And wasn't Mattis on the board of directors? He didn't know what was going on ? Why isn't he facing trial, the traitor.

It's clear by the way she changes voices, as if she's a totally different person in certain settings, that she's an absolute maniac.
Posted on 9/10/20 at 6:42 pm to rickgrimes
She's obviously crazy but in my world that doesn't excuse criminal behavior. She's definitely a democrat.

Should result in an enhanced penalty. In her case, society must be guarded not just from criminal tendencies, but from frank insanity as well.

Just another example of WHITE MEN trying to take down and successful, powerful woman. They need to realize their Piss Standing Up Privilege

I didn't know being a greedy lying asshat was a disease.
Need to file that one away in case I get caught committing a massive amount of fraud.

Being indifferent to the physical and financial well-being of others isn't a sign of mental health but ought not to be a legal defense
