The long anticipated fraud trial of Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of biomed upstart Theranos, got underway in San Jose, California, on Tuesday with Judge Edward Davila asking prospective jurors whether they have experienced "intimate partner violence or abuse" or know anyone has. Holmes, 37, who served as CEO of the blood-testing biz before doubts about the startup's business surfaced - leading to a civil complaint from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the shutdown of the company in 2018, and criminal charges brought by the US Department of Justice - is expected to claim she was abused by Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, 56, her former boyfriend who was also president and chief operating officer of Theranos.
