SAN JOSE — For Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, the stakes could hardly be higher: a new mother at 37, in a relationship with an MIT-educated hotel heir, she could find herself locked away for years in a prison cell if the jury in her trial decides she committed criminal fraud.

Holmes, whose spectacular startup crash has led to one of the most closely-watched trials in Silicon Valley history, is accused of swindling investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars and defrauding patients with false claims that her defunct Palo Alto company’s purportedly revolutionary blood-testing machines could conduct a full range of tests using a few drops of blood from a finger stick.
