via In May of 2016, Theranos voided two-years-worth of blood test results sent to doctors and customers due to inaccurate results. That sparked numerous lawsuits from patients who made medical decisions based on that voided data.

Theranos eventually folded and its founder Elizabeth Holmes faces fraud charges and a lengthy jail term if found guilty. As Holmes prepares for a trial, her attorneys have sought to block the relevance of those patient claims of fraud filed against her. Holmes and her attorneys argued, according to The Mercury News, that the federal indictment does not “allege that a single patient received an inaccurate result from a Theranos test.”
