SAN JOSE — Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ seven days on the witness stand in her criminal fraud trial ended Wednesday, with her 10-lawyer defense team resting its case.

The move by Holmes’ lawyers means the jury will not hear from Dr. Mindy Mechanic, a psychologist specializing in relationship violence who has analyzed Holmes, and whom the defense team had suggested they might call to the stand. In stunning testimony, Holmes claimed that Sunny Balwani, her former lover and Theranos’ chief operating officer, had sexually abused her, and controlled her in life and work. Mechanic, according to the court filing, would have testified on matters concerning Holmes and the issue of guilt.
