Elizabeth Holmes sentencing date delayed amid request for new trial

Theranos founder, convicted of fraud and facing 20 years in prison, requested new trial because of key prosecution witness concerns

A judge has agreed to move the sentencing date for Elizabeth Holmes to evaluate the Theranos founder's request for a new trial.

Holmes, who was convicted on four of 11 counts of fraud for her role in the blood-testing company, was to be sentenced on 17 October. She requested a new trial in September after a key witness for the prosecution said he regretted the role he played in her conviction.
