Elizabeth Holmes' attorneys slammed prosecutors' claim that she tried to flee to Mexico as 'baseless' and say she no longer planned to make the trip after her conviction
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes responded to prosecutors' claim that she booked a one-way flight to Mexico in an attempt to flee.
Her attorneys called the claim "baseless," saying the flight was to attend a wedding, which they say Holmes no longer planned to attend after being convicted of fraud.
Holmes was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison in November and has been ordered to report to prison in April.
Elizabeth Holmes' attorneys attempted to shoot down prosecutors' claim that she tried to flee the US shortly after being convicted of fraud.
In a filing Monday, lawyers for the Theranos founder slammed the claim as "baseless," saying prosecutors "recklessly and incorrectly accuse Ms. Holmes and her partner of attempted flight and present incomplete and provably inaccurate statements of fact in support of that accusation."
Holmes' attorneys also asked the judge to strike the claim from the record, saying, "[T]he entirety of those sentences are inextricably based on and incorporate factual misrepresentations."
Last week, prosecutors said Holmes had booked a one-way flight to Mexico for January 26, 2022, in an attempt to flee the country after her conviction three weeks earlier. They also argued that she shows "no remorse to victims" as they urged the judge not to grant Holmes' request to remain free while she appeals her conviction, saying, "The incentive to flee has never been higher and [Holmes] has the means to act on that incentive."
In the defense's response Monday, they said Holmes hoped to be acquitted and to subsequently attend a wedding of close friends in Mexico in late January, so her partner, Billy Evans, booked flights for them in December 2021, which predated Holmes' conviction. After receiving a guilty verdict, Holmes no longer planned to attend the wedding, her attorneys said in the filing.
Holmes' attorneys added that her passport has been expired "for years" and said she didn't try to get a new one. They said prosecutors asked about the flight, both sides discussed the matter, and Evans subsequently canceled Holmes' ticket.

Relatives of 737 MAX crash victims to speak at Boeing arraignment
(Reuters) -More than a dozen relatives of people killed in two Boeing 737 MAX crashes plan to speak Thursday at a federal court arraignment for the planemaker in Texas, according to a court filing. U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor last week ordered Boeing to appear to be arraigned on a 2021 felony charge after families of those killed in the two crashes objected to a 2021 plea deal. Boeing won immunity from criminal prosecution as part its $2.5 billion January 2021 Justice Department deferred prosecution agreement over a 737 MAX fraud conspiracy charge related to the plane's flawed design.
