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

In her long hours on the stand, Holmes took the jury on a rollercoaster ride that saw her smiling and confidently answering questions before tearfully alleging that her former lover and Theranos chief operating officer Sunny Balwani abused and controlled her. In response to many questions about events central to the case, she said she could not recall. She admitted mistakes. She expressed faith in her technology.
