SAN JOSE, Calif.—Five women and seven men have been selected to serve as jurors for the monthslong trial of Elizabeth Holmes, after days of vetting to determine their impartiality and availability to weigh the fate of the Theranos Inc. founder charged with criminal fraud.

Attorneys for Ms. Holmes and federal prosecutors culled around 200 potential jurors down to the 12 jurors and 5 alternates needed to sit on the trial, which is expected to last until mid-December.
