Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ fight to escape or reduce her accountability for defrauding investors has officially entered its final chapter. The convicted felon late Monday filed an appeal document claiming her conviction was “unjust” and should be thrown out, or that she should be re-sentenced.

Holmes’ legal filing also revealed the massive scale of her appeal of her conviction on four counts of fraud, and her sentence of more than 11 years in prison. Her last-ditch bid for freedom or reduced prison time will be based on nearly 10,000 pages of transcripts from her four-month trial and more than 16,000 pages from other court records, according to the filing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
