Theranos Founder Sees Conspiracy Charges Thrown Out

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and former company president Ramesh Sunny Balwani are slightly off the hook, but not completely.

A judge has thrown out some of the charges after Holmes' defense team argued prosecutors’ case was too broad and too vague.

Gizmodo reports the defense team tried to have all 11 charges thrown out.

The team claimed the indictment against the execs of the scam blood-testing company was “full of ambiguity and fudging language." They also accused prosecutors of “inserting these phrases so they can shift their theory as they go along in the trial.” Despite being cleared of conspiracy charges, the pair still face nine counts of wire fraud that go to trial in August 2020.
