Amanda Kramer spoke with Reuters about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and the potential success of appealing her conviction for defrauding investors in the blood-testing company. According to Amanda, “the mixed verdict may prove helpful at Holmes' sentencing.” Amanda further states, “Holmes' attorneys will likely argue that her conviction on only some of the counts after a nearly four-month trial shows ‘she wasn't some snake oil salesperson out there just trying to rip people off."

Amanda concludes, "The defense will argue to the judge that that's really meaningful, that she stands apart from the predatory fraudsters that are found guilty across the board."
