Things are looking a little bit rosier for Elizabeth Holmes and the criminal charges against her after a federal judge dismissed some of the charges she is facing.

On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that federal prosecutors cannot pursue charges that claim Holmes and her Theranos partner Sunny Balwani defrauded doctors and customers who did not pay for blood tests. The judge ruled that the testing conducted by Theranos was paid for by insurance companies, therefore the patients themselves were not deprived of any money or property, Reuters reported this morning.
