>This crime defrauded actual patients.

It is somewhat worth pointing out that she was found not guilty of defrauding patients. She was tried on that count but found not guilty and one of the jurors has come out to say that they actually do not think that Holmes had ever defrauded any patients or doctors, only that she had defrauded investors.

This is in stark contrast to Balwani who was recently found guilty of defrauding patients and doctors.

I think this reflects a failure of the justice system. The fact that a jury acquitted her does not mean she is innocent. It means the jury was duped by yet more of her lies.
How does that actually work? Did they not give bullshit test results to patients?
