Yet another juror was dismissed from Theranos Inc. founder Elizabeth Holmes’s criminal trial, the third person to be excused since the high-profile proceeding started six weeks ago in San Jose, California.

There was no explanation given for the woman’s departure Friday after U.S. District Judge Edward Davila conferred privately at length with the juror, prosecutors and lawyers for Holmes in his chambers.
