The jury in the criminal fraud trial of former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes informed the judge that it has been unable to reach a unanimous verdict on three of the case's 11 counts.
The latest: The jury notified U.S. District Judge Edward Davila of the deadlock in a note Monday morning, though they did not specify which of the three counts were disputed, the New York Times reported.
- Davila read the jury the common instruction for deadlocked juries and requested the jury continue deliberating and not rush their decision-making process.
The big picture: The jury is in its seventh day of deliberations. Holmes faces two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud.
