About this episode

Three years after Elizabeth Holmes was charged with 11 counts of fraud, the verdict we've all been waiting for is finally in. After seven days and over 50 hours of deliberation, the 12 members of the jury -- one of whom gave us details that you'll hear for the first time on this podcast -- found Holmes guilty on four counts. They were hung on an additional three. How did they reach these conclusions? And what happens next? What will affect Elizabeth's sentencing, and how will the appeal process work in this case? Finally, what will the ripple effects be for Silicon Valley?
