She must have taken cues from Joe DeAngelo, the serial rapist and killer just put away for 1,000 years or whatever it was. Dude shows up in court in a wheelchair looking all frail and weak, but the prosecution has video of him in his jail cell doing jumping jacks and climbing on a table.

Theranos is no more sick now than she was when she defrauded people, and I don’t recall anyone calling her sick then, including herself. The same intent to deceive that drove the fraud is now driving the mental illness defense, an understanding that you can get ahead by lying to and fooling people.

She's young, and the max penalties she faces probably mean she'll spend about a year in prison (just a guess) if convicted. 

Lots of life left, and I'm cynical enough to believe that the arguments being put forward in court are with an eye towards rehabilitating her image.
