Her defense team announced the exciting news last week, arguing that because Holmes was not a flight risk, she should not be detained while her appeal was being processed.
According to federal court documents, Holmes’ attorney is now seeking to delay the beginning of her term of imprisonment by citing the delivery of a child as a defense.
Theranos’s founder has consistently defended her innocence throughout the legal process and is still appealing her verdict.
Similarly, her legal team argues that a number of procedural errors led to the conviction, which will enable them to successfully challenge the order in appeal.

CBS News reported that based on a petition submitted by Holmes’ defense team,
“Ms. Holmes has deep ties to the community: She is the mother of two very young children; she has close relationships with family and friends, many of who submitted letters at sentencing vouching for her good character; and she volunteers with a rape crisis and counseling organization.”
However, further details about her newborn kid, including the sex, name, and date of birth, haven’t yet been disclosed.
In November 2022, Holmes was pregnant with her second child while appearing with Billy in a federal courthouse in San Jose, California.
After discovering her pregnancy, Holmes’ sentence rescheduled to begin on April 27, 2023.
