A lawyer representing Elizabeth Holmes was blocked from taking his best shot at undermining a former Theranos Inc. lab director who’s been a damning witness at her criminal trial.

It looked on Tuesday like Holmes’s lawyer, Lance Wade, might finally have an opening to discredit Adam Rosendorff and weaken the impact of his testimony about the failure of Theranos blood-testing machines.

Wade uncovered how in 2014, after Rosendorff left Theranos in disgust, he went on to serve as a lab director at uBiome Inc. – a Silicon Valley medical startup that collapsed in a morass of insolvency, regulatory probes and criminal charges, similar to Theranos.
