Pandemic precautions are on display in the San Jose, Calif., courtroom where Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and prosecutors are preparing for her upcoming criminal fraud trial, as Holmes told a federal judge she strongly prefers not wearing a mask
SAN JOSE, Calif.—Attorneys for Theranos Inc. founder Elizabeth Holmes told a federal judge on Monday that she plans to attend her criminal fraud trial with three family members or friends by her side and strongly prefers not to wear a face mask.
During the pandemic, some judges have allowed defendants to make their own decision about wearing a mask while in the presence of the jury. As Ms. Holmes looked on, her lawyers made their case to the judge for a more extensive jury questioning and instruction process, a reflection in part of the intense media coverage that has followed Ms. Holmes.to commit wire fraud for what federal prosecutors say was a scheme to defraud investors and patients about the nature of Theranos’s technology. Jury selection for her trial begins Aug. 31 and will likely take two days.
Another one of Ms. Holmes’s attorneys, Amy Mason Saharia, requested extensive additions to the typical instructions that juries normally receive ahead of trial.
