Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, expected to receive a multiyear prison term for felony fraud, has had her sentencing date set for Nov. 18.
Meanwhile, a key prosecution witness at her trial, who showed up at her home in August, has responded to Holmes’ attempt to use that visit as grounds for a new trial and attacked her for purportedly demanding extensive information from him in advance of what is intended to be a limited hearing next week about his attendance at her home.
After a jury convicted Holmes in January on four counts of defrauding investors out of more than $144 million, Holmes’ sentencing has been delayed twice. Originally, she was to be sentenced Sept. 26, then the date was pushed to Oct. 17. On Wednesday, Judge Edward Davila in U.S. District Court in San Jose set the new date, with the hearing to start at 10 a.m. in the courtroom where her four-month trial took place.
