They have plenty of evidence to review after a three-month trial that captivated Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p>That included the testimony of 32 witnesses \u2014 including Holmes herself \u2014 and more than 900 exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>The eight men and four women on the jury took the weekend off after Judge Edward Davila handed them the case late Friday afternoon. They are charged with deciding whether Holmes turned her blood-testing startup into a massive scam. If convicted on all counts, Holmes, 37, could face up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The trial revolves around allegations that Holmes duped investors, business partners and patients about Theranos\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>. She repeatedly claimed that the company\u2019s new testing device could scan for hundreds of diseases and other problems with a few drops of blood taken with a finger prick instead of a needle stuck in a vein.<\/p>\n<p>The concept was so compelling that Theranos and Holmes were able to raise more than $900 million, some of that from billionaire investors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> magnate Rupert Murdoch and software titan Larry Ellison. The Palo Alto, California, company also negotiated potentially lucrative deals with major retailers Walgreens and Safeway. Holmes soon began to grace national magazine covers as a wunderkind.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/elizabeth-holmes-jurors-evidence-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Courtroom sketch.\" class=\"wp-image-20551470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/elizabeth-holmes-jurors-evidence-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/elizabeth-holmes-jurors-evidence-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/elizabeth-holmes-jurors-evidence-08.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>If convicted on all counts, Elizabeth Holmes could face up to 20 years in prison.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Vicki Behringer\/REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unknown to most people outside Theranos, the company\u2019s blood-testing technology was flawed, often producing inaccurate results that could have endangered the lives of patients who took the tests.<\/p>\n<p>After the flaws were exposed in 2015 and 2016, Theranos eventually collapsed.
