Elizabeth Holmes silent while leaving courthouse after guilty verdict

In a case that exposed Silicon Valley’s culture of hubris and hype, Elizabeth Holmes was convicted Monday of duping investors into believing her startup Theranos had developed a revolutionary medical device that could detect a multitude of diseases and conditions from a few drops of blood.

How is she leaving after being found guilty? Every other country in the world has a system where once found guilty you immediately go to jail to wait for sentencing.

This has restored my faith in the jury trial system. Despite Holmes’ constant hand-holding with mummy and Billy, fixing her eyes on jurors at every opportunity, playing the me too card and blaming a nasty little brown man for her crimes, despite her evasions, wish that she’d “done things differently” ( no apology), her hubris and bs over many years, her verbal nonsense with a mixture of nonsensical phrases and meaningless garbage…the jury was not fooled. She deserves everything she gets.

If I was her judge, I'd give her the maximum sentence under the law.

You think she will cry in a deep voice?

Pleased that EH has been convicted on investor fraud. I look forward to learning of the penalty.

She should be in prison right after the verdict.

WHO CARES HOW SHE OR HER PARENTS FEEL??? They brought this upon themselves and deserve NO PITY! She lied about her "trauma", like to investors, employees, and patients. She deserves at least 30+ years and miss all the important years of her new child's life. If she wasn't white and blonde she'd be getting close to the 80 years guaranteed. MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HER!

Ian Gibbons commited suicide because of her treatment of him. She had Erika and Tyler followed and threatened. She deserves years in prison.

She brought it all on herself . She should have just tried to work out a deal . She deserves to go to prison . Her job in prison should be cleaning toilets or doing laundry . She wasted tax dollars and time by having a trial . Hopefully, she'll be punished for that at sentencingl . She knew she broke the law . Everyone could see guilty verdicts were coming . She needs to grow up and get ready for prison .

Why did he marry her? thus ruining his and his family reputation

[iAmTheSingularity]

What do you mean walking out to the hotel? Is she going to lock up or not!? Immediately would be appropriate. You've let her get married, have a kid, and get rich in all the time it took you to convict the b*. Our social/political/economic system is such trash. 😠

[blackmantravel]

She actually looked surprised that she got convicted.

[weareorigin]

Is she going to get celebrity jail status? The jail with high-speed internet faster than most Americans get.

[incognito]

Why was she not immediately taken into custody?

[JN-R]

Fraud against patients - NOT GUILTY! WTF???

[pete]

What the hell was that guy thinking marrying her and having a kid with her? She had already been exposed as a fraud when he met her and was dealing with massive legal issues. Not to mention she’s 8 years older than him and people are after her for millions of dollars. Now he’ll have to raise the kid himself while she’s in jail.

[kamilm]

This county is so corrupt!!!! She should be charged on all counts especially for those patients that she cost tremendous harm! And F this report who sound like he’s being sympathetic towards her! Deadlock my ass! They were bribed off!

[supersquirrel]

I hope she gets 20 years for her greed and lies.
Let her case be an example for scammers & con/criminal minded people.

Now put the federal government and IRS on trial.
