Elizabeth Holmes' purchase of a one-way flight to Mexico was a 'bold move,' judge says in ruling that denied her request to remain free on bail
In a further reference to the Mexico flight, Davila wrote in the filing:"Booking international travel plans for a criminal defendant in anticipation of a complete defense victory is a bold move, and the failure to promptly cancel those plans after a guilty verdict is a perilously careless oversight."
Davila wrote that the court didn't consider Holmes a danger to the community and that she wasn't likely to flee if released. Lance Wade, Holmes' attorney, said the trip was for a close friend's wedding. Wade didn't immediately respond to a request for comment made outside normal US working hours about Monday's court filing.
