More than two months after Theranos founder and former CEO Elizabeth Holmes was found guilty on four of 11 charges in her criminal fraud case, the trial of her ex-boyfriend and second-in-command at the failed blood testing company is set to begin.
Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, who served as Theranos' chief operating officer and president, was first indicted alongside Holmes nearly four years ago on the same set of federal fraud charges. His trial is expected to kick off Tuesday with opening arguments in the same San Jose, California, courtroom where Holmes was convicted.
A jury of 18 people, including six alternates, was selected on Friday. The trial is slated to go on for 13 weeks.
