UPDATE: Elizabeth Holmes has taken the stand as the first witness for the defense. This is a developing story.

SAN JOSE — The prosecution rested its case against Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes Friday after 10 weeks of trial, which included testimony from high-profile investors including former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis and representative for the family of former U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Prior to calling Holmes to the stand, a lawyer from her team asked the judge to acquit Holmes on the basis of insufficient evidence against her. Holmes is charged with felony fraud in connection with her failed Palo Alto blood testing startup.
