SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The trial of fallen Silicon Valley star Elizabeth Holmes moves into its final phase Thursday when federal prosecutors and defense attorneys will present their final arguments to the jury that will determine her fate. Holmes, now 37, leveraged Theranos to woo billionaire investors while assembling a board of directors that included former U.S. That, in turn, triggered felony charges against Holmes that could land her in prison for up to 20 years. Holmes' lawyers have depicted her as a trailblazer who took a few wrong turns while running Theranos, but never committed any crimes. In seven days on the stand, Holmes expressed some contrition while insisting she never stopped trying to refine Theranos' technology.
