A lawyer for Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes claimed during her criminal trial Tuesday that “incompetence” by former company lab director Adam Rosendorff was behind problems at her Palo Alto blood-testing startup.

“To the extent that failures in the lab are the result of incompetence of someone other than my client, it’s exculpatory for my client,” Holmes lawyer Lance Wade said in a hearing without the jury present.
