After Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ emotional turns on the witness stand last week, the prosecution on Tuesday worked to turn the proceedings back to the most damning evidence against her.

Prosecutor Robert Leach, cross-examining Holmes at her criminal fraud trial in U.S. District Court in San Jose, showed jurors an email Holmes’ brother Christian, a product manager at the now-defunct Palo Alto blood-testing startup, sent to Holmes and former company president and chief operating officer Sunny Balwani. Holmes’ brother described an “action plan” to hide from a group of visiting potential investors that Theranos could not always use its much-hyped finger-stick method of blood collection, instead needing to draw blood from veins with a needle.
