As a juror I will never vote to convict a poor person of a crime against a rich person, until rich criminals start facing justice for crimes against all of society.

That's downright sinister. You've no idea who this hypothetical rich person is, or the quality of their character, or their contribution to society.

Who is the poor person in this context?

I'm not sure what you are arguing exactly, but Holmes accumulated a net worth of ~4.5 billion through her fraud.

Her current net worth is essentially zero now that Theranos has collapsed. Plus, she has a lot of legal bills to pay.

It wouldn't surprise me if her legal team points our how poor she is. Poor Elizabeth ...

Well don’t worry, there are many, many people who feel the complete opposite as you do, so the system balances out.
