Elizabeth Holmes has filed 3 requests for a new trial in 2 days as she awaits sentencing. Legal experts say it's unlikely she'll get a do-over.
One motion centers on a star witness for the prosecution who allegedly went to Holmes' house last month to say he regretted his testimony against her.

7/13/22 Update: A federal court delayed the sentencing hearing for Holmes. Holmes was supposed to be sentenced on four cases of fraud on 9/26/22, but that has been delayed until 10/17/22; no reason was given for the delay. 7/21/22 Update: Motions hearing for 7/21/22 has been rescheduled on 8/2/22.
8/2/22 Update: Motions hearing was rescheduled on 9/1/22. 9/1/22 Update: US District Judge Edward Davila on Tuesday issued an order rejecting Holmes’s long-shot attempt to get her fraud conviction thrown out, saying there was “sufficient evidence” for the jury to reach its verdict. Theranos Inc. founder Holmes asked for a new trial, claiming a key witness in her criminal case visited her after the verdict & expressed misgivings about his testimony. Holmes said in a court filing Tuesday that Adam Rosendorff, a former Theranos lab director, showed up at her home on Aug. 8 eager to talk to her about how he thought his testimony last fall had been twisted by prosecutors. “Under any interpretation of his statements, the statements warrant a new trial,” a lawyer for Holmes said in the filing. At a minimum, the court “should order an evidentiary hearing & permit Ms. Holmes to subpoena Dr. Rosendorff to testify about his concerns.” Next sentencing hearing on 10/17/22.
9/1/22 Update: With her sentencing next month expected to result in a multi-year prison term, Holmes this week filed three motions in U.S. District Court in San Jose asking Judge Edward Davila to toss the jury’s four-count guilty verdict in her felony fraud case & order a new trial. Those filings, one Tuesday (9/6/22) & two Wednesday (9/7/22), came after Davila last week nixed her earlier attempt to toss the verdict for good without a new trial. Even if none of the three motions gets Holmes a new trial, all could bolster her inevitable appeal, and one could delay her Oct. 17 sentencing, legal observers said. Both sides have agreed to file arguments later this month. Holmes’ first motion Wednesday, claiming federal prosecutors used arguments in Balwani’s trial that would have led jurors in her trial to acquit her. Judge Davila, who presided over Holmes’ four-month trial, is likely to take seriously the second motion Holmes’ legal team filed Wednesday, legal experts said. Her lawyers claim the prosecution broke the “Brady rule” legally requiring prosecutors to hand over information helpful to the accused. Holmes’ prosecutors hid emails showing they failed to preserve a database of patient test results, her team alleged. Holmes’ motion filed Tuesday & claiming a key prosecution witness (Rosendorff) showed up at her home that could offer her more immediate hope. Motion hearing (for new trial) on 10/3/22 @ 1:30pm.
9/17/22 Update: With the possibility of decades in prison looming over her head, Holmes is making every effort to get a second chance in court. Holmes has made 3 requests for a new trial in the span of two days last week. Prior to filing the three motions, Holmes had asked the judge in her case to throw out her conviction on the grounds of "insufficient evidence." He tentatively denied her request earlier this month. Holmes' sentencing hearing is set for October 17. A day after filing that motion, Holmes made two more requests for a new trial. In one, her team took issue with the prosecution's different portrayals of Holmes' relationship with Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, her ex-boyfriend & former right-hand man at Theranos, in their two separate trials. In the third motion, Holmes says she was denied emails that showed prosecutors failed to take appropriate steps to preserve a Theranos database of testing & quality control data that she claims would've helped her during her trial. The government produced these documents for Balwani's trial though, Holmes pointed out. The judge will hear from both sides regarding the three motions on 10/3/22.
9/21/22 Update: Former Theranos laboratory director Adam Rosendorff said he feels “compassion” for Holmes & Theranos co-founder Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. But he also said he has “no reason to believe” prosecutors misrepresented Holmes or Balwani’s conduct at Theranos, disputing a key argument from Holmes’ lawyers as they try to persuade a judge to vacate her felony convictions and order a new trial. He stands by his testimony in every respect. Prosecutors on Wednesday also opposed to Holmes’ second motion for new trial, which cites arguments prosecutors made in Balwani’s trial about the power dynamics of his relationship with Holmes that her lawyers say differ greatly from what was presented in her trial. A third motion opposed Wednesday cites emails prosecutors produced after trial that relate to their failed attempts to access a database concerning Thernaos’ testing and quality control. U.S. District Judge Edward J. Davila is to consider new trial motions at a hearing Oct. 3 in San Jose. Time was changed from 1:30pm to 10am.

Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing is postponed again, possibly as late as next year, as the judge grants her an evidentiary hearing on whether the prosecution engaged in misconduct regarding a star witness
Elizabeth Holmes scores a victory as a judge orders a hearing over the star witness who recently showed up at her house
Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing could be delayed until January after the judge ordered a hearing on possible misconduct by the prosecutors in her case.

I like Judge Davila and trust he will control this inquiry and get the case back on track to sentencing EH according to the charges she's been convicted on. I agree with the experts on the case -- there will not be a new trial.Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing is postponed again, possibly as late as next year, as the judge grants her an evidentiary hearing on whether the prosecution engaged in misconduct regarding a star witness
Elizabeth Holmes scores a victory as a judge orders a hearing over the star witness who recently showed up at her house
Elizabeth Holmes' sentencing could be delayed until January after the judge ordered a hearing on possible misconduct by the prosecutors in her case.
From the link:
"What the court wants to know is, 'Dr. Rosendorff, do you feel that the government manipulated you in their preparation or in any way in regards to their testimony, notwithstanding the outcome of the case?'" said Judge Edward Davila, who is presiding over the case, in the hearing on the matter on Monday. "Really what I want to know is, did you tell the truth?"
In Holmes' trial, Rosendorff testified he'd tried to postpone the launch of Theranos' machines for patient use because they gave inaccurate results, but Holmes went ahead with it anyway. He also said he was instructed to come up with "reasons other than test performance" to explain unusual results and that Theranos didn't have a formal proficiency testing protocol.
The circumstances surrounding Holmes' motion for a new trial are unusual, as Davila noted in the Monday hearing.
"I will say I haven't seen a case where this has happened before," Judge Davila said. "The allegation is the possibility that the government may have engaged in misconduct...The court takes that seriously."
Davila noted the evidentiary hearing will be "limited."
"This is not going to be a fishing expedition," he said.
[..]
As for Holmes' sentencing if her verdict is upheld, Davila proposed several dates as options, which the prosecution and defense will discuss, spanning from November through January. Experts previously told Insider it's unlikely Holmes will get a new trial.

Confirmed @Niner.
Judge Davila already warned the parties that 10/17 will not be a fishing expedition, and the hearing is going to be limited. He also gave the parties dates in Nov and Dec for sentencing but both said they needed to check their schedules and get back to him. He's ready to move this matter on and out!

9/21/22 Update: Former Theranos laboratory director Adam Rosendorff said he feels “compassion” for Holmes & Theranos co-founder Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. But he also said he has “no reason to believe” prosecutors misrepresented Holmes or Balwani’s conduct at Theranos, disputing a key argument from Holmes’ lawyers as they try to persuade a judge to vacate her felony convictions and order a new trial. He stands by his testimony in every respect. Prosecutors on Wednesday also opposed to Holmes’ second motion for new trial, which cites arguments prosecutors made in Balwani’s trial about the power dynamics of his relationship with Holmes that her lawyers say differ greatly from what was presented in her trial. A third motion opposed Wednesday cites emails prosecutors produced after trial that relate to their failed attempts to access a database concerning Thernaos’ testing and quality control. U.S. District Judge Edward J. Davila is to consider new trial motions at a hearing 10/3/22 in San Jose. Time was changed from 1:30pm to 10am. Sentencing hearing on 10/17/22.
10/3/22 Update: Holmes' sentencing is postponed again, possibly as late as next year, as the judge grants her an evidentiary hearing on whether the prosecution engaged in misconduct regarding a star witness who visited Holmes' house last month & expressed regret over his testimony. Evidentiary hearing on 10/17/22. As for Holmes' sentencing if her verdict is upheld, Davila proposed several dates as options, which the prosecution and defense will discuss, spanning from November through January. Motion to Quash hearing on 10/31/22 @ 1:30am & sentencing rescheduled on 11/18/22 @ 10am. 10/16/22 Update: Motion to Quash hearing on 10/31/22 has been vacated.
