Why would a mistrial be declared? Does that prevent a future prosecution of these charges?

  It will likely result in a new trial of those counts.

    If the prosecution decides to pursue it. They may very well decide that finding her guilty on 4 of 11 counts sends a strong enough message.

      It's not about sending a message, it's that the sentence will almost certainly be carried out concurrently. That means even if she is found guilty of the remaining counts it won't result in any additional time served.

    It will depend on if the prosecutor thinks it's worth it. Often it won't be if they already got a guilty on enough counts to add up.
