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.

#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.

"[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

#ElizabethHolmes trial day 29:

Holmes' team filed a motion last night to admit certain portions of her recorded interview with @FortuneMagazine writer Roger Parloff — who could testify as soon as today. Defense attorney John Cline offered sound bites from Holmes which "[disclose] DoD’s use of Theranos as a potential one," explain why #Theranos considers its tech/processes trade secrets, and other portions that the government's proposed plays "artificially cut out," Cline said.

"You know that I am a faithful part of your team, and will do all that I can to help your case” Eisenman wrote to FBI special agent Adelaida Hernandez, as Downey showed.

"I have no bias in this case," Eisenman blurted out. Downey asked it that was an accurate statement of his feelings toward the prosecution team.

Eisenman cited "lots of abuse over the years," that he had "been lied to," that "we have the same outcome, that justice be served."

"Alan. I have no intention of responding to this email and explaining the tech and processes. Please stop sending me with emails everyday," Sunny Balwani responded. "I had suspicions that things were not as they [had] communicated. I had a significant amount of net worth involved in the company," Eisenman answered, after Bostic asked why he wanted more info.

He wanted to "reduce his position," he said.
