Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder and former CEO of Theranos, is set to resume testifying Monday in her criminal trial.
From CNN Business' Sara Ashley O'BrienUntil last week, it was unclear not just whether Elizabeth Holmes would take the stand, but whether her defense team would put on a case.
Then on Friday, shortly after the prosecution rested its case, the defense surprised onlookers by calling Holmes to the stand as its third witness -- at 3pm on a Friday. She testified for roughly one hour before court recessed for the weekend. But Mark MacDougall, a white-collar defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor, said it could also have been a strategy. “Putting Elizabeth on the stand for a short time on Friday could be intended to acclimate her – just before the weekend break – to the stress of testifying in court," he told CNN Business.
