A panel of federal judges spent two hours on Tuesday wrestling with a series of legal issues raised in an attempt to overturn a fraud conviction that sent Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes to prison after a meteoric rise to Silicon Valley stardom.
FILE - Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes leaves federal court in San Jose, Calif., March 17, 2023. A panel of appeals court judges will preside over oral arguments on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, in an attempt to overturn the 2022 fraud conviction of Holmes in the high-profile case that exposed the greed and hubris infecting Silicon Valley.

Three appeals court judges — Jacqueline Nguyen, Ryan Nelson and Mary Schroeder — gave few clues into whether they leaned toward upholding or overturning Holmes’ conviction. However, they periodically made it clear that it would take compelling evidence for them to throw out the jury’s verdict.
Holmes will remain in prison, with a currently scheduled release date of August 2032 — earlier than her full sentence because of her good behavior so far. The excitement stemmed from Holmes’ claim that Theranos-designed devices could scan a few drops of human blood for hundreds of potential diseases. But the devices produced unreliable results that both Holmes and her former business partner and lover at the time, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, attempted to hide.
