Gangakhedkar and Erika Cheung, two former Theranos scientists, testified under oath last week. They both conveyed the same information to the jury: Theranos' Edison devices -- their blood testing machines -- rarely functioned properly.Cheung told the court that Theranos would frequently cherry-pick data, deleting"any two data points that would not hit the metrics we needed." She added that in March of 2014, about one in every four Theranos tests failed.
Gangakhedkar was the former manager of assay systems at Theranos and reported directly to Holmes. She told the jury that she didn't think Theranos' devices"were ready to be used for patient samples." The court granted Gangakhedkar full criminal immunity before she took the witness stand. She told the court she took documents with her upon her departure from the company, despite her non-disclosure agreement,"to protect myself and to have as a record in the event issues came up in the future."At the time Cheung was speaking with an investigative reporter in 2015, she believed she was being followed by people hired by Theranos.
