    Technical and boring? By all the accounts the jury was rapt at the prosecution’s opening statements. The defense basically insults the jury’s intelligence. It is technical and boring and you probably won’t get it is what they are saying. The audacity.

    She scammed people because of her youth an beauty and endangered patients life and maybe killed many people and now her lawyers who also get their million dollar fees from taxpayers want to make her as a hero and angel!!!

    She spent money on luxury items and travel and then couldn’t pay the Bill’s so more loans or investors would come in and the bottomless budget would get stretched again and again and again! She couldn’t be bothered with blood work because she was high on spending! Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous was an addictive pleasure!

      Luxury life? Boyfriend? What media and trolls try to tell people? It’s about her product! I’m not an expert in medicine, but we know that for every medicine, every product, there are very strict rules, procedures to product put on the market!?Her project, the product “One Drop of Blood” I guess was approved by all state commissions? Otherwise it could not work,she could NOT start business if wasn’t approved ??
