The group grappled for several more days over whether to convict or acquit Holmes — who faced 11 counts of fraud — on three other counts also related to investors, juror No. 6, Wayne Kaatz, said
who had poured millions of dollars into the Silicon Valley blood-testing startup, according to one juror who spoke with ABC News in an exclusive interview.
Judge Edward J. Davila instructed them to continue deliberating, but by Monday afternoon, the eight men and four women maintained they still could not come to a unanimous consensus. At around 4 p.m., after seven days of deliberations, spanning two weeks, which included Christmas and New Year's, the jury convicted Holmes on four counts of fraud against investors. They found her not guilty on four other counts, regarding patients who took Theranos blood tests.
"It's tough to convict somebody, especially somebody so likable, with such a positive dream," he added, noting he voted guilty on the three counts on which the jury could not agree. "[We] respected Elizabeth's belief in her technology, in her dream. [We thought], 'She still believes in it, and we still believe she believes in it.'"
Holmes scored a two, he told ABC News. A few government witnesses, on the other hand, including former Theranos lab director Adam Rosendorff — who testified that, during the period in which Holmes was raising money from investors, he had apprised her of the dysfunction in the company's clinical lab — had scored as high as a four. No one scored as low as one.
