"Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, charged with a dozen felony fraud counts over her defunct Palo Alto blood-testing startup, plans to introduce evidence of a mental condition that affects the issue of guilt, a blockbuster judge’s order has revealed."

This is getting ridiculous. I mean if she had debilitating mental illness, why didn't she try to seek help for it earlier?

Because she never had been indicted before.....

Probably true.
But when reading all the stories about Holmes and seeing her interviews - including stuff before the Fit hit the shan - didn't you get the impression she was a bit "off?"  The Jobs' Acolyte attire; the all big talk that had an "all hat, no cattle" aura, etc.  (Maybe I was jaded/biased by a family friend who has founded and worked extensively in the field and he was convinced from the jump that there was "no there, there" when it came to Holmes and Theranos). 

I don't know the legal significance of any of it, but it wouldn't surprise me at all that someone would conclude she has some personality disorders that could affect her judgment.  Hell, at this point I consider that a given.
