Jury selection for the Ex-Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes’ federal fraud trial is set to begin today in the U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif.
Holmes is facing 10 counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud over allegations that she knowingly misled investors by claiming the Theranos technology could revolutionize blood testing. She has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The trial was originally slated to begin on October 27 last year but had been delayed multiple times because of the COVID-19 pandemic and then Holmes’ pregnancy announcement in March.
