Sen. Cory Booker is among 130 people who wrote letters of support for Elizabeth Holmes, the convicted founder of disgraced blood testing company Theranos.
Lawyers for Holmes, who is pregnant with her second child, submitted the letters in an attempt to help her avoid jail time when she is sentenced next week for an epic fraud.
“No defendant should be made a martyr to public passion,” Holmes’ lawyers wrote in their court submission.“We ask that the court consider, as it must, the real person, the real company and the complex circumstances surrounding the offense."
