Ironically, it is the patients -- the people whom the jury did not convict her of defrauding -- who might have been the most injured. What if you received an erroneous Theranos test result saying that you did -- or did not -- have a serious disease, causing you in the first instance, to panic and expend a lot of time and money on more tests and doctors before finding out the correct situation, or, in the second instance, not get treatment until the disease progressed?

Theranos knew that its machines didn't work so they used Siemens products to do the tests. So patients at the Walgreens walk-in clinics were actually getting good results, because they weren't using Theranos technology. This is my understanding of why she wasn't convicted on the charges of fraud against patients.
