Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is asking for a new trial, claiming one of the witnesses allegedly expressed regret over his testimony.
In a filing on Tuesday, Holmes claimed that former Theranos lab director Adam Rosendorff, who testified during her fraud trial, came to her house unannounced in August and said "he feels guilty," The Wall Street Journal reports. The filing claimed Rosendorff said that "when he was called as a witness he tried to answer the questions honestly but that the prosecutors tried to make everybody look bad," so he feels "like he had done something wrong," per CNN.

Holmes' team is now arguing that Rosendorff's new statements are grounds for a retrial, claiming they put "the integrity of the jury verdict against Ms. Holmes in grave doubt," CNN reports. She's scheduled to be sentenced in October.
