Howard A. Fischer was quoted in a January 15th article in "The Lancet" regarding the recent court case of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of infamous blood testing company, Theranos. The verdict prompted questions over justice for patients.

Mr Fischer is extensively quoted in the article. “She's not the one who's actually having the communications with the doctors or the patients, while she was the one who had the communications with the investors”, said Howard Fischer, a former senior trial prosecutor at the New York office of the US Securities and Exchange Commission who specialised in investment fraud cases and is now a partner at the New York law firm Moses Singer. “I wasn’t in the jury room, but I would imagine that the jurors probably looked at the attenuated connection between her and the patients as reasons to come up with a not guilty verdict.”
