Placer County prosecutors will retry a former nanny in the death of a Roseville toddler.

The Placer County District Attorney's Office announced Friday it will retry Veronica Martinez Salcedo on assault on a child causing death charges in the death of 16-month-old Hannah Rose Juceam.

Salcedo's first trial on second degree murder and child abuse causing death or great bodily injury charges ended in a mistrial last month. A Placer County jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of guilt. Salcedo was accused of shaking the toddler at the Juceams' home in Roseville while she watched the family's three children on May 11, 2006.

Salcedo has remained in custody since the child's death in lieu of $1 million bond. She's also on an immigration hold because she's an undocumented Mexican national.

The D.A.'s office said the next court date is Dec. 10, with a trial date most likely to be set after January 1.
