The criminal fraud trial of former Theranos Inc. President Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani was delayed by at least a day as the court continued to struggle with selecting a jury.

Opening arguments were reset from Tuesday to Wednesday for Balwani, who was Elizabeth Holmes’s boyfriend while working as second-in-command at the blood-testing startup she founded.
