Witness stand is about 10 feet from the edge of the jury box.

When jurors walk into the room (from behind a back door), they come within five feet of Holmes.
Downey brought up the Pfizer 2006 contract, which Holmes testified to on Friday.

"[It was a] contract to perform a study for Pfizer that we would work together to develop, to test and validate theranos tech," Holmes said of the intention of the contract.
"First theranos had to develop certain tests that were useful in cancer patients, we had to validate those chemistries, then we had to use them in a study where we would test patients in their homes in very remote areas and in a clinic...," she began
"and look at that data...how that changed over time," she explained.
Pfizer paid Theranos, she testified.and Theranos prepared a report.
Downey asked if she recalled the Testimony of Dr. Shane Weber of Pfizer, who prosecutors showed the Angiogenesis validation study too, with the Pfizer logo on it.

Holmes did recall his testimony
Downey is now showing ongoing correspondence from Pfizer to Theranos — which we saw occurred in 2009, 2013, and 2015.

in 2009 Pfizer's Craig Lispet — who had brought Weber in to review the Angiogenesis report — wrote David Lester from Theranos.
Lester worked at Pfizer before he took a job at Theranos, Downey established.
"A team developing a MAb for IL-6 has modeling needs…however this could provide a good timecycle to engage the team, develop a model," Lispet wrote in his Aug. 25, 2009 email, as downey highlighted.
"Lispet is relaying that there is a new drug that Pfizer is interested in working with #theranos on," Holmes explained.
"Pfizer decided not to pursue this drug," she said.
Oct 29, 2013 executive at Pfizer wrote Holmes

"Thank you for an exciting afternoon yesterday. We are very much looking forward to further interactions...As discussed I will follow up separately with Christian regarding a new 2-way CDA," he wrote.
Holmes had a meeting w/ DoD in 2008, she testified.

Gary Frenzel (from Theranos) wrote her an email w/ subject: Ya done good today?

"Just wanted to let you know again, you did great.

The colonel intimated a desire for other tech as well…," Frenzel wrote.
We're done for the day — Downey ended with a line about how Elizabeth Holmes came to believe Theranos could run any blood test on their tech — in short from Dr. Ian Gibbons.

We also learned Channing Robertson served as, "a chief technical architect, internally," Holmes said.
(will fill in the rest below)
Leach wants to exclude some of the defense exhibits admitted today, as they are "rule 16" documents that have not been produced in discovery.

"He's had 36 hours, which is a lot longer than I normally had when he produced documents the night before," Downey told the judge.
(jury departed - attorneys talking w/ judge)
"The witness wont be on cross examination for 7 days,” Downey argued.

Gives us a clearer idea of how long Holmes direct will be...

#ElizabethHolmes Trial Day 31:

The prosecution said they would rest this week, and the crowds showed up accordingly.

Fortune's Roger Parloff will be back on the stand
If they put on a case — the defense disclosed to the prosecution their first witness will be a paralegal from their firm.

They also told the government they plan to call a 2nd witness: Theranos board member Dr. Fabrizio Bonanni.

The gov't moved to exclude Bonanni's testimony.
The defense is arguing the relevance of Dr. Bonanni's testimony, who they said joined #Theranos in March 2016.

Bonanni will speak to the capabilities of the Minilab, which they pointed out rebuts an allegation the government made in the indictment, they told the judge.

"[This] gets into reporter process and I don't think it's published so maybe I should invoke reporter privilege," Parloff testified.

Parloff's attorney nodded vehemently at his client from his seat on a court bench approximately 50 feet away.
Parloff is now consulting with his counsel about whether or not he can answer questions about Richard Kovacevich, a former Theranos board member.

Kovacevich was not named in Parloff's article, but his name was on a memo from the gov to defense regarding Parloff
We're back, and Parloff did speak with Richard Kovacevich, he testified.

We are listening to a taped recording between Parloff and Holmes.
Holmes talked about the “highest levels of quality and data integrity,” in the first clip played.
"We have done work overseas for Pharma companies uhh a little bit with foreign governments in the past. But right now we’ve got our works for us cut out here," Holmes told Parloff in a restaurant.

She knew he was recording, Parloff testified.
