Theranos lab directors, one who voided over 50,000 Theranos tests after a damning

government inspection, and another who never met Elizabeth or set foot in the company's lab.

She started having real problems with them and doubts and talked to me saying that,

you know, she wasn't comfortable as their lab director. This week, the government puts its

final witnesses on the stand. Among them, a patient who received troubling results from

a Theranos HIV test. It hurts my heart to be honest with you knowing that a patient is

walking around with a result such as this, with no clear path of next steps.

And a journalist you'll remember from season one, whose damaging interviews with Elizabeth

were played for the first time in court. Plus, in a literal final hour shocker, the words

many never expected to hear. The defense calls Elizabeth Holmes.

My first reaction was surprised, but as I thought about the reason she might do it is she

needs to convince the jury herself. And so it may be her only chance of getting acquitted

even though it runs some very high risks.

Did the government bring home its case? Did Elizabeth begin to sway the jury?

From ABC Audio, this is the dropout of Elizabeth Holmes on trial. I'm Rebecca Jarvis.

Episode 14. The prosecution rests and Elizabeth speaks.
