SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 29 — A female entrepreneur whose multi-billion dollar start-up looked set to revolutionise medical testing, before it crashed and burned in a blaze of fraud claims, goes on trial next month.
At her long delayed trial, which begins in September in San Jose, California, Holmes faces nine charges of wire fraud and two of conspiracy to commit wire fraud that could see her jailed for up to 20 years. Holmes’ lawyers may want to avoid such testimony, but for Mehta, their experiences are key to understanding what happened.
But for all the potential star power of the witness roster, the most eagerly awaited testimony could come from Holmes herself, if she decides to take the stand.
