Jurors in the trial of Elizabeth Holmes have heard a lot about the Theranos Inc. founder in the past 10 weeks. They may be about to hear from her directly.Lawyers for the disgraced entrepreneur said in pre-trial filings they expected her to testify as part of a defense that she was abused and controlled by the company’s president, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani. While her testimony isn’t certain, Holmes’s taking the stand would shake up the sometimes sleepy proceedings in Silicon Valley’s most high-profile court case.As the prosecution wraps up its case — arguing that Holmes was exceptionally deceptive in building Theranos into a $9 billion company before it collapsed in 2018 — she may have little choice but to testify to convince the jury she’s not guilty.
