Elizabeth Holmes' attorneys slammed prosecutors' claim that she tried to flee to Mexico as 'baseless' and say she no longer planned to make the trip after her conviction
as they urged the judge not to grant Holmes' request to remain free while she appeals her conviction, saying,"The incentive to flee has never been higher and [Holmes] has the means to act on that incentive."
In the defense's response Monday, they said Holmes hoped to be acquitted and to subsequently attend a wedding of close friends in Mexico in late January, sobooked flights for them in December 2021, which predated Holmes' conviction. After receiving a guilty verdict, Holmes no longer planned to attend the wedding, her attorneys said in the filing.
Holmes' attorneys added that her passport has been expired"for years" and said she didn't try to get a new one. They said prosecutors asked about the flight, both sides discussed the matter, and Evans subsequently canceled Holmes' ticket. They cited an alleged email exchange between prosecutor Jeffrey Schenk and defense attorney Lance Wade on January 23, 2022, about the plane ticket.
"I suspected there was an explanation. … Thank you for the background information, confirmation, and for addressing this situation quickly. I do not believe there is need for us to discuss this further," Schenk wrote, according to the filing Monday.. In their filing Monday, they said Holmes hasn't lived there since October and also asked for that claim to be stricken from the record.
