Trial of Theranos executive Sunny Balwani to begin
ABC News
The trial of Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, the ex of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and an executive at the company, is set to begin after COVID-19 related delays.
The criminal fraud trial of Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, the ex-boyfriend of convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and a top executive at the blood-testing company, is expected to begin Tuesday in California after a series of COVID-19 related delays.
Balwani's trial was first pushed back in January by the surge of omicron cases and then again last week when it was discovered someone who attended jury selection was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
On Monday, juror No. 1 was excused after reporting a fever and a sore throat to the court and replaced by an alternate.
Federal prosecutors will take the floor first to give their opening statement, and then lawyers for Balwani will have a chance to unveil their defense.
