This week, the most jaw-dropping testimony in this trial yet. Elizabeth Holmes fights back tears telling the court she was raped when she was at Stanford and claims she was in an emotional and physically abusive relationship with her former boyfriend and Theranos COO Sunny Balwani, who firmly denies all allegations.

Will the jury be thrown by the sudden evasiveness? And ultimately, will charges of abuse negate the allegations of fraud?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
