Once a jury is seated, the trial will begin in San Jose, California, with opening arguments scheduled early next week.
Jury selection in the fraud trial of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes began Tuesday, casting a spotlight on the fallen Silicon Valley star now facing felony charges alleging she duped elite financial backers, customers and patients into believing that her startup was about to revolutionize medicine.
The trial will revolve around the rise and fall of Theranos, a startup that Holmes launched after dropping out of Stanford University in 2003. But Theranos — a name derived from the words “therapy" and “diagnosis" — quickly lost steam after revelations that its supposedly breakthrough blood-testing machine, called “Edison," didn't work as Holmes had described and produced dangerously inaccurate results in tests run for actual patients.
Holmes, who was in court Tuesday, has maintained her innocence since the U.S. government charged her in 2018. Her trial was delayed by the pandemic and then a pregnancy that culminated in the recent birth of a son. Some legal observers believe that could make her a more sympathetic figure before the jury.Jury selection is expected to take several days.
